Rain-X works great, and can even replace wipers in an emergency. But, in my
experience, it makes the wiper blades jump and skip if it is more than a
wek old. I had to use denatured alchohol to remove it from the wind screen.
It caused enough 'stiction' on my window to strip one of the wiper arms!
Once I cleaned the window, the blades run quite smoothly. My suggestion is
to keep your  wiper blades in good condition and save the rain-x for when
the motor burns out.
