Guess there's no reason not to use it.
Believe there are other products that are superior to Rain-X, like Aquapel (usually sold only to professionals and in cases, but can be purchased individually on eBay, Ioffer.com, Onsale.com, bidway.com, etc.) or Diamondite ($21.95, can purchase direct). Clearkote's Quik Shine is a quick detailer but is also excellent for use on windshields and trim (no streaks or tracer marks from the wiper blades). Some use a synthetic polish/wax on their windshields, but I am not a fan of doing that.

The main problems with Rain-X is 2-fold, 1 it is silicone based and 2 it tends to fog/haze in humid conditions.
