Re: RainX - was wax

[Sargent Schutt <sargent@novagate.com>]

I've heard this from others, too. I don't know why some people have trouble
with it. If you follow the directions, as they appear on the bottle, I can't
imagine what would cause this problem. I've used it on all sorts of cars over
the last 10 years and I've never had this experience, except when I didn't
follow the directions. I did find this essential: After the stuff dries, don't
buff it out. Take a medium size, heavily soaked towel and rub it all over the
glass. _Then_ dry it with a dry cotton towel. I have never had trouble with
it. I have seen people try to buff it, like wax, which leaves a swirly haze.
If that's what you're getting, you are applying it wrong, IME. Again, it's
worked great for me for many years, on all sorts of cars.
