    The old formula is MUCH BETTER with beading. `Scoop it up while you can. `I found some on the shelf buried in the New Improved Formula.

    Hey, quit sugar coating and tell us how you really feel! Seriously, my wife swears by Rain - X, but she uses the stuff you spray on and then wipe off with water or some method - I don`t watch, it`s her deal and she`s happy with it.


    `


    Funny story - when I was young and kinda stupid, I put Formular 409 in the washer fluid tank since I didn`t have proper fluid. What could go wrong right? Jeeez - first time I used it, the windshield went white and I had to pull over, take off my shirt, wipe that crap off and continue on. Did I mention it wasn`t raining, i just wanted to clean off some bugs. Did I mention I was on a date with a hot girl that I was trying hard to impress. She did think it was funny and I guess my manly chest with the postage stamp of chest hair impressed her enough that she agreed to go out again with me.
    All I have in this world is my word, and my balls and I don`t break `em for no one, you understand?"

    I`ve seen numerous mentions of the "new improved" version or RainX destroying the washer fluid`level sensor in lots of cars.

    I was wondering if something changed. I swore by the old one enough to tell my brother just to get rain x washer fluid and he wouldnt have to coat it. Worked great for me. Didnt work at all for him. This explains it I suppose.

    unelko sold the rain x line to quaker state in 97.


    `


    the new glass science line by unelko is far superior to rain x IMO.

    i picked some up a couple months ago. I noticed it was a darker red than before it was light orange, and the water doesnt bead nearly as well. SUPER disappointing since its been the only washer fluid I used for years.
