i've always had good luck with rain-x. last at least 3-4 months on most my cars. seems to wear off faster on my truck than my wifes suv.

I haven't use Rain-x but did use wax several years, and I didn't like the hazy look when driving at night.

Aquapel is guaranteed to last 6 months per application. Works good and nice beeding too.

Random question for you guys

I want to apply something on the inside of my headlights so they don't fog up

Would rainx or FogX be a good idea ( is ti 100% clear ? )

If i were you I would seal them correctly instead. Look for any cracks that may be letting water in. I doubt any product will help that though IMO

I find ONR QD works the best. On really dirty windows Duragloss Nu Glass works wonders, mist with ONR to keep it working longer and boom, crazy beading. I tried carnuba but it made my wipers chatter like crazy.
Amsoil Rain Clear works well too, lasts longer than RainX

I put 476s on my windows about 6 months ago and they still bead great including the windshield.

Poliseal and KIO have worked great as well.

Try Aquapel. I heard this is the best in durability and beading. After I polish my windows, I am definitely trying this.

If I polish the glass, I normally use Optimum's Poli-Seal. I always clean my glass with Clearkote's Quikshine, customer's too. Rain beads off as well as it does with RainX and lasts longer too.

I've been using KAIO for all my glass, and really like it.... glass stays cleaner longer, and I haven't been able to beat it for beading. I use Invisible Glass to clean between apps.

I used to use rain-x until I ran out. I simply use an LSP to get the job done.

I notice if I use wax on the windows and it doesnt have any cleaners in it (like a pure caranuba) you will get streaking. I believe RainX is the better choice but thats not something that I always have lying around, so if I use wax I make sure its a cleaner wax. Never have any problems with it.
