removing rain-x

[likeme88]

well...i applied rain-x since last year,and then everytime i on my wipers, the wipers will just judder non stop and making noise.....ok..so i switch frm silicone to bosch rubber wipers...it was ok for first few weeks...then the problem presist again even on rubber wiper....yet it even worst keep on juddering and leave water marks giving poor visiblility on the road when raining......then, i bought another rubber wipers...1week later, the wipers judder again....
OMG..how to solve the problem??..irritating and super noisy... i had tried applying alcohol, vinegear,use glass cleanner...yet problem still same....wasted two rubber wipers and a silicone wipers...but keeps on judder,giving noisy sound when wiping.....so guys any idea to remove it completely??..maybe recommending a shop that provide windscreen polishing?..and does glass polishing product helps??...i had spent alot money on this problem, tried different glass cleanner,new wipers,yet problem not solve..and i dun want to re-apply rain-x coz i had applied 2 times..in circular motion...getting worst...:2in1:

Erm.. I had that problem too.. But it will be back to normal if u stop applying it la.. it would take some time.. But nowdays in this rainy season i think you should be able to see the difference la.. anyway good luck to you!!

i use rain-act. big no no with silicone wiper.

what i do to remove the rain-act is .... wash it lah. i have this glass cleaner spray ... i forgot the name but it have this name "invisible glass" ... careful .. not "invisible shield" (to which i think rainx and its imitation use) ... first time apply it, the effect like rain-act but will wash away by rain .... so back to normal windshield.

no more the running water effect ... but my wiper is silent ... that is better.

for new windscreen insurance



hehehe

no seriously, so many have fallen to the rainX trick. sure it was good (newly applied) but its bad for wipers. i doubt if the change to rubber oppose to silicone wiper will alleviate the problem.

the only 'hope' is to contantly wash (with proper detergent agent) & remove the film of 'rainX' left.

else, got to 1st line

haha...yeah..lesson learned...i rather spend money on wipers and change it when its worn out...than this rain-x...:stupido: btw i had bought this waxco window polish that claim can "removes rain act or x) hopefully it can really remove it...and then must get new wipers to ensure no rain-x is being left on the window again....

i'm not to sure:hmmmm2:...but i think that when u use rain-x...ur not supposed to use ur wipers rite?... it's spoils ur wipers.... so that's why i use it on the side windows and side mirrors only where got no wipers... front windscreen i use normal body wax... will last bout one week...

 

[likeme88]

could be spoil d....i had polish and clean the windscreen with the rain-x remover....try by blowing the water...seems no more rain-x effect...but wipers still juddering abit....will polish again tomorrow and change new wipers....
agree that side,rear windows really helps..but using on the front...really nightmare.........

Dont need to change wipers bro,,,

just use newspaper and glass cleaner over it a few times..its the best natural glass cleaner...

 

[likeme88]

newspaper can ar??....wont the ink just stick on glass when i polish the glass....i use sponge..but water mark still got some on it....tomorrow gonna apply force on it....to remove all the water marks and left over rain-x on some other parts...

hmm... i don't have any problem using this product for 2-3 years. it was superb for me. why ar?

 

[220mph]

bro, its the nature of the product.. to get grease out from ur screen ma..
so when apply correctly, ur scren will be left bone dry..
thats how the water slide..
if u want ur wiper to wipe smoothly, do like what alot other non rain-x user do lo.. fill some soap etc in the windscreen water storage lo.. obviously soap+water will smooth out ur wiper. but then again, u will never get the benefit of a non-oily screen lo.
in my case. i never use wiper when using rain-x..

 

[paman]

me also using rain x,, got no prob with my wiper.. i'm using the rain-x original brand buy from shell station.. heard people say if u dont lift ur wiper in sunny hot day time it will cause ur wiper damage also.. is it true?
