Want to first hear from someone who has actually used this product.
It's free. I'll find something to spray it on even if it's a stray cat running around the neighborhood that I want to smell better.

Rain-X products won't get within 20 feet of my vehicles.
They can stick to their shill silicone spray for windshields.

Also, this is using ceramic as a stretch.
I used Rain-X wiper fluid for the first time (not knowing about the silicone or whatever other reactive chemical) and it completely clogged up my windshield washer pumps and nozzles. Costed over $500 in parts and labor to replace everything. Never again with Rain-X products.

Anyways, ProjectFarm on YouTube did a pretty comprehensive comparison of spray-on ceramic coatings and waxes. I'd recommend checking that out.

Is there an alternate product you'd recommend for windshields?

Sorry to hear that. My experience using the Rain-X windshield fluid and/or additives on and off is that I've never had a problem in 25 years.

Never had a chance to use any other of their products, though

How is it shill silicone spray? That stuff is awesome.

I'm wondering the same... Been using that product for nearly 3 decades w/out a single problem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAnfEzCVRXA <- 6 months later

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R5QH6H6/r <- Great spray and price.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081489MTX/ <- Great liquid wax
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K46RD7Y/ < - Great spray and price.

I doubt rain-x will last anywhere near as long as the above listed. Most people report it has weeks of lifetime. It wasn't part of the test, but you can see there are tons of products that will fail fast.


These all beat the $23 gloss it spray, $70 F11 top coat, $50 Owner price, $42 the Last Coat 2, $40 Nexgen, $40 Carpro reload, $20 Shine Armor and the $13-$15 three turtle wax applications.

That's a quick way to get the rebate rejected. Check rebate requirements

They didn't test rainx, but with how many have failed I would stick to the known winners.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081489MTX/ <- $16 this is the best bang for your buck based on their testing with longevity and lowest price. It lasted over 6 months of stress testing.

It beat $23 gloss it spray, $70 F11 top coat, $50 Owner price, $42 the Last Coat 2, $40 Nexgen, $40 Carpro reload, $20 Shine Armor and the $13-$15 three turtle wax applications.
Yes, Meg's Hybrid Ceramic is good value for longevity, but other tests show Seal N Shine is better for resistance to chemicals (see Pan the Organizer among others). I have to park outside, so SnS is my choice for protection from bird poop, acid rain, etc, even if it requires slightly more frequent application.

I guess you're not technically getting it for free cuz you still have to pay the damn tax man his sales tax, unless of course you come from a state without it (Delaware, Oregon, etc.). But, that's nitpicking. Good deal!
