Of course! But I expect Sturgeon's Law -- that 90% of everything is crap
-- applies to items in the auto supply store and I don't have the $$$ to
buy everything in the store to see which 10% isn't. So I don't pay a lot
of attention.

There are many, many examples of a company making one good product, then
slapping that name on a plethora of junk products. So it doesn't
automatically follow that just because the original Rain-X is good
stuff, that their follow-up products are particularly good. Call me
cynical but until someone recommends it to me, I figure that there's a
good chance that Rain-X windshield washer fluid is just Windex with a
different dye.
