The issue is with all the treatments I've tried is there are times (round town etc or low speed) that the wipers are needed. Rain X I found good at speed but when slow and wipers on very smeary. The Ombrello so far seems good - no where near as smeary and beads well. Will just need to see if it lasts.

When Rainex...

1st appeared - I foolishly tried it on both my cars (at the time Volvo's)....when 1st applied it does work if you go fast enough & the rain / mist / water isnt too much...but it does smear generally on the 1st wipe of the wipers....this can be at best inconvenient at worst dangerous.

I only use Rainex for side windows now

+ another 1 for GTechniq

Dont waste your cash on the lesser products.
Just get the GTechniq stuff.

It looks expensive compared to the others and needs to be applied properly to last, but it lasts MUCH longer than the other similar products. Thumbs Up
