| − | + | To apply Rain-X: | |
| − | + | #Before applying Rain-X, make sure that the glass is perfectly clean. Any dirt or bugs left behind will get sealed in if Rain-X is applied over them. | |
| − | + | #Apply a generous amount to a clean paper towel, and then squirt it on the glass, applying in a circular motion while not letting any drip off the glass. | |
| − | + | #Always make sure you apply to the whole piece of glass. | |
| − | + | #Be careful not to get any onto anything else -- glass only. | |
| + | #Sometimes more than one application may be needed, especially when using for the first time. | ||
| − | + | Then, to remove the Rain-X film: | |
| − | + | #Take 2 to 3 paper towels, and fold them up in full sheets, creating a cushion. | |
| + | #Rub vigorously, but every time you rub, change direction, and bring your hand up to grab a new spot on the paper. Do this until there are no new spots left anywhere on the paper towels. | ||
| + | #Don't try to get it all at once -- just make sure you cover the entire area. This is buffing it in, activating it. | ||
| + | #After you have buffed the entire area well, washing with soap and water will remove the vast majority of the leftover film. | ||
| + | #You might have to buff again afterwords. | ||
| − | + | *Rain X will help your wipers, wiper transmission, and wiper motor last longer, by reducing friction. | |
| + | *Rain X will last longer the less you use your wipers. | ||
| + | *At certain higher speeds, you most likely will not need to use the wipers. The wind will just push the water up and over, and out of the way. | ||
| + | *If a week later, you notice the Rain-X seems not to be working as well, just wash with a mild window cleaner (a double side squeegee works very well here). This will refresh the Rain-X. | ||
| − | + | ==Bug removal== | |
| − | + | *The best time to clean off bugs is early in the morning, when the dew has softened them up. | |
| − | + | *You might need a scraper or sharp single edge razor blade. Smooth out the razor blade on the polished corner of the door window, to remove any burrs that might scratch your windshield. | |
| − | + | *Vaseline can be used on any area other than the windshield, to keep the critters from sticking. | |
