I  did see another rain-X like product.
I was at my automotive paint supplier store ...like professional grade
stuff...
and they had a tube ...
about the size of a magic marker ....tube type applicator.

they SWORE it was the best rain-x like product there ever was., like much
better than rain-x.
I'm gonna get me some,
and I'll ask about that rock chip thing with it too.
