I'll second that. I've never had any problem with streaking or hazing with
Rain-X. My guess would be that following the manufacture's directions is
important when applying the stuff. Could be that failure to do so is what's
causing the problem. Just a guess.
PS If you've never seen streakers you're not driving thru the right part of
Austin :=]
