Yes ... Rain-X does make a product for inside only.  It's to keep the

The bottle I have states it is specifically for INSIDE applications.....i.e. bathroom mirrors and inside of windshields.  Is this different from the Rain-X made for the outside of the windshield?  It's particularly confusing since many list members said NOT to use it on the inside of the windshield....this bottle specifically states to use it on the INSIDE of windshields.
