My husband is obsessed with Rain-X.

It’s a loose wire…..and it usually waits for rain to decide to not work

Of course.

If we drive anywhere in the rain where visibility is low, usually We pass a few cars crawling way below the speed limit. My husband will turn to me and say, "THEY SHOULD HAVE USED RAIN-X."

I didn’t cry at 30 or even 40 but 45 and 50 is a different story

I might cry for my next one.

FWIW, I’ve only cried once so far…..but second time is coming fast

My husband is obsessed with Rain-X.

When I used to drive OTR. I’d get just about 25-30K miles on the windshield applications during the summer months.
On personal vehicles I usually get 3-6 months between re-applications here in TX (year round). And this is pretty stable over the last 20 odd years.

Odd note. Rear windows might last 2 months before a extra layer is needed. Which is really considering the direct wind force (friction) on the windshield made me surprised that it always lasts longer. Especially on our minivans.

That’s the situation that brought Rain-x to my attention back when I was 19, stationed at NAS JAX. The wiper switch would blow fuses like made. After a week of blowing at least a dozen fuses. I asked an “AE” (electrician) in the squadron if they had a spare 10AMP button breaker I could borrow for a few weeks while I troubleshoot this wiper mystery. Took me most of the summer to finally find it. Meanwhile I learned of Rain-X during this fiasco….
Back then, I had bought my Grandparents car, 1977 Cadillac Coup de Ville. The actual aerodynamics were fascinating. 30 mph big drops would start to move & by 34 mph all would slide off the windshield…

The ‘99 f350’s is a bit slower… ~38-40MPH when they start to move.
