love/hate...

years ago i bought a small bottle, must have been the concentrated
stuff. it worked well onthe my old loaf. later i bought a larger
bottle, and I think a different brand. not so good, not so much
beading, doesn't last as long, and leaves a transitory smear behind
the wiper which is annoying at night. like a smear trail, lasting a
second or so.

I use rain-x on my vanagon so I can see through the truckwash on the
superslab.

Any comments good or bad on it?   I took a local volk out for a drive
during
the rains recently,  she got all twitterpated over not having the wipers
furiously thrashing in spite of being able to see just fine.
