Переглядів 868,737
20 днів томуBrands: Rain-X, Invisible Glass, Gtechniq, Aquapel, GYEON, Adams, CERAKOTE, Chemical Guys, 3D, Debaishi. Windshield water repellents tested for efficiency at dissipating water right after application, and then after exposure to windshield washer fluid and several other common cleaners. The window treatments were also compared for removing insect splatter from glass panels.
I always buy all of the products tested to ensure an unbiased review. So, thank you for supporting the channel.

@JSFGuy 18 днів тому
Headlight restore kits are kind of like box dinners or ready-made, you can do it that way and sometimes it works, or you can go back get the spin polish with the plastic polish and do it through analog ways and means. I use a buffer and polish them clear before they get too bad. There is always replacement lamps that are generally affordable and worth it because they are a safety item. Also if you don't have to remove the bumper and the whole front end of the car just to replace the lamps. Results vary.

Another fantastic comparison. Been using Rain-X religiously since the 1980s. First thing i do when I buy a new car is apply it, and reapply maybe once a year. One time I forgot to on a new Explorer. Got caught in a heavy rainstorm on a roadtrip and couldn't see a thing. Had to stop at a Walmart to pick some up. Applied it under cover at the nearest gas station and all was well. You don't even have to use the wipers most of the time - the water just beads up and rolls or flies off. The original and still one of the best. Can't beat it for the price.

@hammondeggs3356 7 днів тому
I too have used Rain-X on every car I own since I first discovered it ages ago. I love the stuff, it makes a huge difference in the rain and general cleanliness of the glass. However, I use it on all my exterior glass, even the mirrors. Rain-X makes it easier to keep the glass clean. Also, if you live where it snows a lot or you frost/frozen water on the glass, it makes it much easier to remove.
@Aggiedave93 7 днів тому
@@hammondeggs3356 Oh for sure. Not just for use on the windshield. Using on all windows keeps them clean and clear. I’ve never had any water spotting on any vehicle I’ve ever had after using Rain-X.
@TheFanatic340 4 дні тому
can confirm with how quickly it can be applied. I use the original in the pump spray bottle. in a pinch, I've even applied liberally without cleaning the window first and then immediately wiped and buffed it dry. worked perfectly and got me through a storm surge that produced a few tornadoes. no change you can see through rain like that without it. the next day, however, I had to redo the windshield cause all the flaws shined through 😂
@rhkips 18 днів тому
Spot on! I'm a mobile technician in the South and I drive a lot, so I've real-world tested just about every hydrophobic product out there. My personal regimen is Aquapel every 6 months, and keep a bottle of RainX in the back seat. The only issue I have with Aquapel is that if you use your windshield wipers (bugs, excessively heavy rain that overwhelms the product), it actually scratches the Aquapel layer, installing fine linear scratches in the path of the wiper blades over time, which can lead to borderline crippling hazing and glare in some rain conditions. Because Aquapel is a silica-based product that chemically crosslinks to the glass, it has to be mechanically removed before recoating. Meguiar's Ultimate Polish and a DA polisher works well for me. In contrast, RainX is a silicone solution emulsified into a wax with an alcohol-based emulsifier. It simply sits on the surface of the glass, and is highly susceptible to heat and mechanical removal (windshield wipers). But it's also dirt cheap and available almost anywhere in North America, and very easy to apply. Sorry for the text wall! I wanted to add some real-world insight that doesn't translate well into laboratory testing. :)

@ProjectFarm 18 днів тому
Thanks for sharing!
@rhkips 18 днів тому
@@davidr.8999 NuFinish does alright, but nothing remarkable. If you use it, give it at least two days in the garage to cure before taking it out in the sun or letting it get wet, and reapply in about a month for best effect. RainX does not play nicely overtop of it, however. It hazed like crazy for me when I tried this combination. I suspect that the alcohol content in RainX interacts with the petroleum-based solvent in NuFinish, but this is only speculation. I've only ever tried the liquid NuFinish product in the upright bottle, not the paste in the tin. I suspect they're more or less the same thing, just different application methods to suit different target demographics.

It amazed me when I see so many people without any sort of treatment on their windshield though. It helps with visibility SO much and is so little effort to apply and maintain. Thank you for demonstrating the effect of all these brands. I have been a long time Rain-X user, and it's nice to see it stacks up well against the competition still, and at such a good price. I applied it once when I first got my car and then keep a little mixed into my wiper fluid so it gets reapplied on it's own. Never had to manually reapply it in almost 10 years now

I have always sworn by Rain X, I often find on the motorway that I have better visibility letting the water bead up instead of using my wipers. In case anyone is interested in how I make it last for months and months: 1. Clean the window with a wet synthetic chamois, and dry it with a microfibre towel. 2. Use RainX window cleaner to clean the window again (spray on the window and wipe clean with a microfibre towel). 3. apply RainX repellant with a microfibre towel. 4. buff the repellant off with a dry microfibre towel 5. repeat steps 3 and 4 (second coat). 6. top up your windscreen fluid with the RainX fluid (following the diluting instructions on the bottle).

I had never really lived in snow being from Florida, but had put some of this in my reservoir before getting it shipped.... It was hilarious watching everyone trying to scrape and deice their windshield and all I had to do was turn on my wipers and the whole sheet of snow and ice would fall off.

@davidmiller6010 18 днів тому
Nice job! I've been a user of Rain-X since around '85. I have found the best application technique for great long lasting results is slightly different that the one you did. 1st, I clean the glass much like you did. Then I apply product directly to the glass using a mixture of swirls, back and forth and up and down strokes. I proceed all the way around the car, so by the time I get back to where I started, that 1st piece is thoroughly dry. Then I apply a 2nd coat the exact same way. Next I spray a very scant amount of fine mist water to the glass and rub firmly with a dry towel. Lastly I polish the dry glass with a dry microfiber cloth until it's extremely slippery. DONE! Lasts easily 6 months, but you can get more like a year out of it if you also use the Rain-X windshield washer in the car. Thanks Todd, looking forward to your next report.
@BobBuddy_ 17 днів тому
I recently resealed my windows and tried something new. At the beginning of the video you can see the product "SOFT99 Glaco Glass Compound Roll On" which is a kind of simple glass polish, I cleaned the glass and then used SOFT99 to really remove all the impurities, then cleaned it again and then applied the Rain Repellent. In any case, I'm curious to see whether this method turns out to be better. So far I've driven once in light rain and the result was very good, the windows started to get clean over 60km/h. Info on the side: I used something other than Rain-X, it's from LICARGO, it got good reviews in many tests and I wanted to try it out myself, I think it's only available in Germany, and of course I bought it a few days before this video came out, i also have RainX at home, which I'm happy with :)

Started using Rain-X 30+ years ago when I started driving, always loved being able to go drive at speed in a good rainstorm and not need wipers. These days I still do Rain-X, but without the manual application. Rain-X washer fluid and Rain-X wipers, great combination that keeps the repellency going. If it seems to wear off a bit, give the glass a super good cleaning, then use sprayer and wipers for ~10 second several times. All done.
