The only time I find it to be less effective is with mist and fog at night around town...get some glare then...other than that it beads off quick for me...

Rain-X now has an even more expensive wiper blade that I've read elsewhere
is very effective, especially in winter conditions.

My experience with Rain-X treatment for windshields is it makes the water
bead up really well, but having it blow off requires a speed above 55 mph. 
Not very effective when driving around town.
