hey ..........I think I'll be coming down to Sacto on a parts run next week,
god willin' and the crik don't rise.

I have had great results with Rain-X and consider it 'standard' for the
winter months.
I put it on all glass and mirros on the outside of the van.

I have seen it seem to be foggy on the windshield though ...
probably a matter of applying it correctly to really clean glass.

but my vote is YES !
awesome stuff.
seeing that rainwater just stream right off if neat.
it lasts maybe 3 months, less with more wiper use I'd imagine.

I don't even like running wipers that much , and I've never though a faster
speed really helped much either.
