Agreed. The new directions on the Rain-X bottle are poor. I put on the Rain-X,
let it dry to a haze, then mist water over it with a spray bottle, wipe with a
cloth and then buff with a dry cloth or paper towel. Use lots of "elbow grease".

Both methods serve the same purpose, just two different approaches.

Speaking of Rain-X, it's time to do it to both cars.
