A product intended to keep windscreen clear from rain.   Can anyone comment on this and/or similar products.

Probably very similar to Rainex and the Turtlewax equivalent which have been around a long time.

I've used those products on every car I've owned and it works very well.

Seems to be a treatment that requires you to book your car in, and costs 5 times the price of Rain-X

As per @daveyjp's comment i've used Rain-X before and its a great product.

Available at Halfords and on Amazon delivered for £4.99.

Cheers.  It costs £35 for front glass.  Thanks, will go with Rain-X, money saved !

£35!  A bottle of Rainex lasts me over a year applying two coats on all the glass on two cars 3-4 times a year.

I thought this was a thread about the fence paint, spelt incorrectly! If M&S take offence over Cuthbert, I can’t imagine that Cuprinol will be too impressed either at the similar branding…

My car is fitted with Windscreen Wipers which does a satisfactory job for me.

What worthwhile improvements might I see with these type of products?

Rain x is useless.

Belenus ,  that's a simple, pertinent question.  Now you ask, not sure !

A lot of the water gets cleared before the wipers even get to it, improving your view of the road.  Particularly useful in exceptionally heavy rain.

Times when you previously would have needed to put your wipers on, you dont.

Less "smearing" with the wipers.

Your windscreen will frost up less and will clear quicker when it does.

Snow is less likely to stick to it.  Same with mud and road grime from other cars.

Then you're doing something wrong with the application of it, because its definitely not useless.
