Yeah,I got some of this by mistake.It came pre-mixed in a jug of
windshield washer fluid,Prestone I think.I know the fluid was
yellow.Basically,the disadvantages outweigh any advantage of using
Rain-X,IMHO.My wife`s car and my Dak now have this greasy
film.Windshield fogs up at the drop of a hat,and will not defog unless
the vehicle is fully warm on a rainy day.You turn the wipers on to clear
it off,and five seconds later it fogs up again.Plus,Rain-X increases
drag resistance.I went from 18-19 MPG down to 9 MPG with the
Rain-X....No that`s a joke,ppl,COME ON!! Lighten up :>) Steve P.
