i used to use rain-x on the window screen and in the screen wash. After a while it would coat the window screen and the rain would bead off when driving, but not below MPH really. It also stopped most of the fly's and other animals sticking to the window screen.

Sold out? Halfords always stock it. I use rainx too, very good. The Maguires glass cleaner is exactly that...a glass cleaner. It's not mean't to repel water.

Lidl had a 'nano-tech' water repellant in stock a couple of weeks back - £2.95.

I tried it. It's more involved than Rain-X but for the money it works brilliantly. I bought a couple of kits but I'm going to go back and see if there's any left.

luv'n'stuff

This is the stuff that i use buddy,
i feel that it's better & longer lasting than rain-x.
But each to there own. :)
