nope it actually works. based on an aircraft product, it coats the
glass and actually makes the rain drops fly off!! :) almost
hypnotizing. but kinda somewhat sorta maybe dangerous ... it makes you
THINK you're not going as fast as you really are. sorta. can.
anyway, it really really works.

but it's REALLY good for outside mirrors! keeps the dew/frost from
forming on them in cool/cold weather! and rear windows!

just a couple of Gotchas, though:

** NEVER use it on the INside of your bus ... it'll form large bright
rainbow circles around oncoming headlights at night! :( no, i can't
figure why it doesn't do it on the outside.

- keep away from paint! it doesn't like paint. or paint doesn't like
it. or something. anyway, follow the directions.
