Rain-X is a "weaker" solution of a product that is used in aviation on the
windshields/windows of airplanes. The "good" stuff must be applied under
very "strict and clean" conditions or you will make the dirt and grim a
perennate part of the surface. Great but wicked stuff (most aircraft does
not have wipers)
