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



    I have found it to be useless. But think it doesn't like heated screens. I have found it to repel water but it becomes very smeery very quickly. Invisible glass is better but by no means perfect.

    I think good quality wiper blades are key to it also.

    You're not the only one. There are better products to be had but personally I'm not convinced of the need.

    I use oem blades, I suspect its the heat from the screen that upsets it.

    Rain x only works if you have heavy rain  and DONT  put you windscreen wipers on, and can do 50 + to drive the rain off, once you use wipers it just smears and is a devil to get off.
