Works great but you will have to be willing to take the time to reapply often. I have the dealer applied coating and it lasted about a year. Time to go get my free re-application.
As an oregonian that experiences a ton of rain, I dislike rain-x.
Some parts will wear down and become uneven, and when you need to use the wipers it can cause the wipers to vibrate/skip/smear. You have to apply it periodically to prevent this.
It's just easier to keep the wipers in good shape.
stuff is awesome if your use it regularly, I also find with enough coats of it built up on your windshield, it even deflects those nasty bugs in the summer
I agree it does work great for bugs too. You have to be very particular on your application to avoid streaks and prolong it's effectiveness. I used to find it streaky and really started to pay attention to how I put it on and made sure the windshield was stripped before I started. I live in a rainy Maritimes province and get a good 6 months out of an application for a fraction of the cost of Aquapel (which is also a good product).
