Just started using "Rainex" on the windscreen of my jeep - great stuff - didn't have to use my hand operated windsrceen wipers once, the last time I took it out in the rain.

Does anybody else use this stuff -because if not I can highly recommend it!

Cheers,

Dickie T

Used it for a few years and can concur - good stuff. They sell it in wipes too - very handy for refreshing the stuff.

Sounds excellent, I am going to try and get hold of some of this, thanks for the "heads up" Dickie.

Had enough of having to manual use my wipers

You can get the stuff in Halfords, - you still get rain drops on your windsreen, but they just run straight off. It seems to work very well on jeeps - as they are as aerodynamic as a wardrobe

Cheers,

My old man used a cut in half potato when the wipers packed in on the car

The mind boggles!

Hi all,

I use Rainex on my Jeep too - it's very good, but i've found that you do need to re-apply it with some "regularity"...

Oh, and Bilko...I understand what your on about mate - potatoes have much the same effect as Rainex (seriously)...but it's not quite so cristal clear when applied, and lasts for an even shorter time...'king site cheaper to buy though!!!

Well. i bought it and it came in very handy on the trip to Detling. Hardly had to use my wipers. Think a tub of the wipes will be living in the tool box from now on.

Can also highly recommend the Rainex line of anti-mist wipes too for the inside of the screen and rear view mirror. Brilliant stuff!
