There are other products out there that do ok, in particular Aquapel, which you'll never find at Walmart but maybe at an auto parts store. At least tell your friend to look for a spray product similar to Rain-X to make for easier application. Some guys just use wax like Collinite on their windshield. IIRC, Scottwax said NXT glass cleaner spray lasted as long or longer as Rain-X for a similar effect with water beading. |
I wanted to try RainX before hunting down some Aquapel and I haven't had any problems with it at all. Application's pretty easy, and I get around 1.5-2 months before I just reapply it just for fun. The water beads up really nice on it and as soon as I hit about 30mph, water just flies off. I don't even bother using my wipers anymore.
