Today, we are putting two windshield treatments to the test rain X original versus rain clear by glass science. The first thing you need to do is make sure the window is clean and we did that in the previous video so don’t forget to check that out. Once the windshield is thoroughly cleaned you want to apply the product as instructed on the packaging which we did and in this case we put rain X original on the passenger side and rain clear on the driver side.
Instructions are very similar the one difference being rain X needs to be allowed to dry and then wiped off where rain clear you just continue buffing it into the windshield until it is clear. Once we applied the product and removed it as instructed we then put it to the test with a garden hose in this video it might be a little difficult to see but there was a clear winner. And that was the rain clear gel. The water shed off of the window much faster, giving you a clearer vision through the windshield. Rain X, however, did do a great job it just did not shed the water as quickly leaving lots of droplets behind which was distorting the vision.
The other difference I noticed was in the instructions and rain clear gel says it should be applied every few months where rain X did not give an indication of how often to apply it which to me means it may last longer as it is applied more like a wax. Only time will tell which one holds up longer but for our test here today rain clear gel definitely would be my choice. At any rate when you’re driving especially if you towing a camper or driving a big rig such as this bus you want to make sure you have a clear vision through your windshield to make sure you know where you’re going and you can see the road ahead.
