Default RainX 2 in 1 window cleaner...

Not sure if i'm doing it right, it keeps leaving streaks and stuff on the windows...

If i rub it more than 2-3 times it starts to foam... am i supposed to do that?
If i leave too much on it dries with streaks
If i thoroughly wipe it off with paper towel - is any gonna remain on the window and keep water off?

I really like clear windows especially at night... should i return this ...

Are you combining it with window cleaner???
I HOPE NOT![/SIZE]
1. You should wash the car and clean all deposits, bugs, etc. off of the windows. No combining chemicals!
2. Then, a squirt a "little" Rain X on a soft cloth rubbed, in overlapping circle, all over the window. A little goes a long way. I usually on have to re-squirt the rag two or three times for the whole windshield.
3. I use two cloths: first cloth gets most of it off; then the second clean cloth to rub (hard) all the streaks off.
4. Then I sometimes lightly go over the window with a paper towel dampened in Windex.
**If you simply rub with a cloth only once, it leaves a little fog on the window, that is especially noticable at night. I will even sometimes, just run my wipers with the window spray to wipe the excess off.
***But, even using a little Windex afterwards does not diminish the window treatment....I treat my window about every 3 months. I don't even need the wipers, if they should fail....as the water sheets off with great visibility.

Combine this regimine with a set of custom Silblades, and you won't have to worry about windshiel visibility for years!

I've used the Rain-X windshield washer fluid in both of our vehicles for several years now. It's always kept my windshields very clean without any streaking. I enjoy watching the rain water bead up and roll off at highway speeds without turning the wipers on.

man I HATE wipers and pretty much never use them but like already said I clean the windows first then I have the rain X in the big Squirt bottle and i squirt it all over--then i make sure the window is covered as best as I can (wiping it around with a cloth) the rain x will dry then you just wipe it off -----it is easy to leave streaks if you don't have a nice clean cloth or even a good paper cloth
I usually do it like 3 times a week which is way over kill but like I said I HATE wipers
