Re: Best way to apply Rain-X?

Use a decent glass cleaner; I use Invisible Glass, to first clean the surface. Let it dry.

To apply rainx, I use a single cloth or sponge. Soak it fairly good and apply to the window surface liberally. When a haze forms, apply another fresh coat. When that drys to a haze, use a clean, dry terry-cloth or similar material to remove the haze. It's like waxing a vehicle. It takes some time and elbow grease.

Too much work. Try Aquapel. So much easier to apply and lasts longer.

Thats what sold me on Aquapel. I just applied it last night to my car. It's supposed to rain later on tonight and tomorrow. So I'll see how well it works for me.

I hit that same page looking for a decent comparison. I hate when they embed a link to the video within the text like they did. I could not find it when I first went there. Half blind, I guess.

The video certainly does show that the aquapel stands up a lot longer than RainX.

My RX-8 is my crown jewel. And the reason I am saying that is that I try to use only the best products on it, and Invisible Glass is one of those products. Huge +1 on that recommendation for cleaning.
