[s-cars] Rain-X sludge?

I like Rain-x and use it regularly, but I find that is "reacts" with the
windshield washer fluid. I figure it's the alcohol which is added to the
washer fluid that makes it hazy.
Here in the balmy climate of Vancouver, I do not use alcohol-based
washer fluid for that reason. In colder climates you may have no choice
in the winter time.
Try using straight rubbing alcohol to clean the windshield, then apply
the Rain-x.
