I was on my way to work a few days ago and as I turned to go east facing the sunrise, the windshield suddenly became completely opaque, the windshield wipers, microfiber cloth etc had absolutely no effect. I got the truck turned around and went back home to clean the RainX off the windshield. I tried Windex, Ammonia, Alcohol, Acetone, MEK, and Laquer Thinner with absolutely no improvement. I finally had some minor improvement with Driveway Cleaner and White Vinegar. RainX customer support does not respond to voicemail or email. I have also discovered that some of the RainX Washer Fluid products can destroy the washer fluid pump and hoses as well as cause the windshield to be obscured. I talked to a couple of fleet Managers, they both told me the have a policy against using RainX products on company vehicles because of similar experiences and that the only way to get the RainX off the windshield was a special Glass Stripper made by Stoner. Apparently there is no way to know if you have succeeded in removing the RainX so cleaning the windshield multiple times seems to be the best solution.
I would discourage people from using any rainX windshield and glass products
