As I mentioned above, I have heard of several people that this happened to but they were trying to 'super-strength' it and double the amount they put in. I use the Rain-X washer reservoir stuff and have never had an issue. I just make sure I mix it according to the directions - and I use distilled water.I don't know about RainX softening the glass of a windshield. What I do know is that RainX gums up the windshield washer pump, tubing, and spray nozzles. I had to replace the pump in my 2012 RAM Hemi 4X4 Quad cab about not too long ago and now, according to the RAM dealer, the tubing and nozzles are plugged up. They want $365 to replace the tubing and nozzles. I just ordered a package of hood insulation retainer clips and a removal tool and will tackle it myself. I held off ordering the nozzles to see if I can clear them of the slimy gunk before spending the $56 each to replace them as well. RainX is bad and I'll never use it again.
Is that an AI produced Popeye?I have used RainX windshield washer fluid for numerous years now in all of my cars and trucks. Never ever had any trouble out of it. I have heard all kinds of stories. Never any problems as of now. Now the RainX that was put out years back that was intended for the interior really sucked. Only used that once.. Besides if it made your glass soft, you have insurance to replace the window?????????????
I call BS on the tech. Have used Rain X for years. In my opinion it helps prevent certain issues such as pitting from acid rain. Also seems to assist in wiper blade life. My two cents.I had to get a chip filled, and my windshield is getting kinda "sparkly" with mico chips I guess...
The Windshield guy told me RainX is the worst thing for a windshield because it softens the glass? Lets even the smallest particle will leave a chip?
I dunno...
I'm about to use Glass Stripper to get a deep clean anyway.
BUT, my question: so is it okay to use a ceramic glass coating afterwards?
Is Glass stripper's Ceramic Kit okay to use?
Anything else instead?
I know this is probably "another windshield thread" but I just wanna do the right thing
It's bad for motorcycle windshields. It's great for glass windshields. Motorcycle windshields are acrylic or lexan with protective coatings that Rainx will ruin.I had to get a chip filled, and my windshield is getting kinda "sparkly" with mico chips I guess...
