Sign In I have a problem with my windshield. When it rains I can not see thru it. The wipers are fine and I applied turtle wax to help the water bead off, but it did not work. I have rain x in the reserve but it isn't helping either. I know there is something that will make the water bead off, my husband used to do it but he is gone now and I can't figure it out. Please help. way2old Veteran / Moderator Jul 30, 2007, 6:28 PM Post #2 of 5 (2062 views) Re: Windshield Issue!!!!! Sign In Get some Bon Ami cleanser and scrub the windshield until all the wax is off of it. Then you will have a good place tgo start with the rain x product. Good luck. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds Guest Anonymous Poster Jul 30, 2007, 9:34 PM Post #3 of 5 (2061 views) Re: Windshield Issue!!!!! Sign In Why does the wax have to be scrubbed off? I have been told to never wax a windshield but my husband did it all the time and it worked well, so I do not know what I am doing wrong. Do you really think the rain x will work for beading the water off? way2old Veteran / Moderator Jul 31, 2007, 5:34 PM Post #4 of 5 (2059 views) Re: Windshield Issue!!!!! Sign In Yes it will. But the windshield needs cleaned really good first. Wax does not dry really clear and can cause fuzziness or distortion.

Sign In I prefer windshields that don't bead up with waxes or rain-x but I like rain-x on other windows. Wipers even if newer can get build up on them and cleaning them with rubbing alcohol can help. I've gone as far as carb cleaner on a towel with good results but it is hard on rubber products. Rain-x does get to be a problem if you need to repair a small star type crack in the glass which I've had done and the place said that the rain-x about stops them from success with those repairs, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
