If you ever plan on having any windshield repairs done then stay away
from Rain-X.  The guy who was repairing a crack in my windshield last
time told me that it can prevent the chemicals they use from bonding
correctly.

Rain-X works good if you have rain.

With our rain twice or maybe three times a year, the Rain-X is worn off
about the time you need it and the windows streak like crazy when you
use
the wipers.
