Best Rain Repellant

(1/10) > >>

vRS Carl:
As we are starting to get to the time of year when the weather is only going to get worse i was wondering what people's views were on various rain repellants.

I've always used Rain-X and found it to be fairly good just not very long lasting. However on a brief search of the tinterweb it seems that Carlack Glass Sealing kit is the weapon of choice.

Anyone on here got any experience of it?

golf nutter:
i have found that AG Fast Glass does a fantastic job on my car...lasts weeks too.  noticed on friday when we had a lot of rain i was intermittent much of the time whilst other cars wipers were going furiously!

Tfsi_Mike:
Are there any recomendations for Anti mist for the inside too.

I used rainX and was effective but like you say doesn't last too long.

I tried the washer fluid with rainX used it at low dilation but can't remember it being that effective.

stealthwolf:
I'm going to look into carlack or gtechniq stuff - some kind of glass sealant either way. The other issue is that dirt on the glass seems to stop water gliding off so regular snowfoam and wash is also recommended.

LouCyffer:
The outside screen I treat with Rain-X every couple of months. It's never been anything but faultless, and the screen can be polished to remove bugs etc (I use AG glass polish) without impeding the performance & beading effect.

For the inside, pretty much anything that keeps glass clean is fine. As dust & dirt allows water to bind to it on the surface of the glass, as long as the glass is kept clean, you'll get a reduction in misting. I've found a 3 weekly treatment of AG car glass polish is fine. You could use any number of cleaners; Windowlene would work, as long as the inner glass surface is cleaned effectively.
