RainX does not claim to improve fuel economy that I'm aware of however it works great at keeping the windshield clear particularly at higway speeds.

drillintheUSA All-Star Author Rochester Posts:892 Points:183,860 Joined:Apr 2008	Message Posted: Apr 2, 2013 5:55:19 AM Ignore drillintheUSA Report Abuse Affirmative. Used it since 1979. Works great in the winter, too. The ice doesn't adhere to it very well. Therefore, I put it on Side View Mirrors & glass headlights in the winter. When driving over 40 mph, the rain just blows the water off / away. Don't even turn the wipers on! Whenever we go on a long trip, we dose it up. Bugs clean off much, much more easily & wipers are not needed should it rain (nice for those who can get hypnotic effects from watching the wipers for several hours). BTW - Airliners use it too for the cockpit windows

He sprayed it on then buffed the windshield then told me to hose it down. Well I asked him how much $$$ an he said..no I'm not selling it. He was so excited it worked that he wanted to tell the world. So I went out and bought some myself.

Clunk49 Rookie Author Nashville Posts:23 Points:2,635 Joined:Nov 2012	Message Posted: Mar 23, 2013 7:56:15 PM Ignore Clunk49 Report Abuse Rainex has worked for me for years. I had a beat up old pickup truck that I was afraid the wipers would stop. I applied the Rainex per their instructions and one night during a rain storm, I shut the wipers off and the rain just flew up the windshield like water BB's and I could see as clear as if it wasn't raining at all. Been using it ever since on all my vehicles. The anti fog does not work for me either. [Edited by: Clunk49 at 3/23/2013 8:00:52 PM EST]
