i always use rain x its about £6 a bottle and is great stuff you dont even have to use the wipers when your moving above 40mph

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.

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 J
