Question

What is the minimum application temperature?

Community Answer

Directions on the bottle say the temperature should be above 40 degrees, and it should never be applied in direct sun. A heated garage would be perfect.

Question

Can I pour Rain X into the windshield washer container under the hood?

No. Rain X has its own window washer fluid that can be purchased separately.

Question

Can I apply it when it is hot outside?

Community Answer

Buffing off takes some effort, so if it's too hot for you, then don't. It's best to work it in under some shade. Working with hot glass also makes the haze harder to remove.

Question

Will Rain X help if my wipers aren't working? Can I still drive in the rain?

Community Answer

At highway speeds you would not have to use your wipers at all if Rain X has been applied properly. During city driving at lower speeds, you might at times wish you had your wipers in working condition.

Question

Can I use Rain X on the inside of my windshield?

Community Answer

No, it is only for outside use. Using it on the inside of your windshield could leave a film that would make it difficult to see and therefore dangerous to drive.

Question

Wiper use causes a cloudy haze on the window. This was after Rain X application. Do the wipers do that?

Community Answer

Clean the wiper with Rain X as well to prevent the haze. The Rain X with glass cleaner product does not have this issue, only the Rain X by itself causes the haze.

Question

Can it be applied in freezing temperatures?

Community Answer

No, it should be applied only when the outside temperature is at or above 40°F (5°C). If you apply it while the temperature is in this range, you should be able to drive later in freezing temperatures.
