RainX Ceramic Glass Cleaner & Repellant

Has anyone used this stuff? I used it today and it’s a mess. The glass is covered in what looks like a greasy residue. Full of smudges. I can kinda push the residue around but I can NOT get the glass clear. Any tips?

 

I know some “glass sealants” can be hard to remove, but for a “cleaner” this stuff is… not perfect. The glass is clean but cloudy.

 

After reading the reviews on

$11 Rain-X 630178 Cerami-X Glass Cleaner + Water Repellent, 16oz - Cleaning Effectively While Remaining Streak Free, Protecting Against Contaminants and Stains

Amazon it seems like you're not the only one with these issues. May be best to try & remove it with an IPA wipe down & find something else.

 

Lol. Wow! Makes one wonder how a product like this makes it out the door.

 

So using a lager or a stout won't work?

 

Negative.

 

I ended up using CarPro Eraser. It got 95% of the greasy mess gone. In the right light i can still see streaking. But it’s not noticeable while driving.

 

This specific Rain-x product is horrible!! Used it on my truck one time and could not get the smudge/haze to go away without completely cleaning the window again with a degreaser.

 

Has anyone tried letting the RainX sit for awhile, Like a synthetic sealant dwell time?

I know some sealants left behind a oily mess of it doesn't sit long enough.

 

This stuff is legit

I used to use old Rain X rub on and polish off for glass and found I really had to wait for the haze. Not certain about this new product.
I do use Rain X washer fluid and it is all I will use in three rigs.

 

Griots Ceramic glass cleaner. You won’t need anything else.

 

I use Murphys Oil soap, water, rubbing alcohol and a little lemon juice. Works great when used with news paper and for the inside with tint it has never been an issue in the 35 years I have used this mixture. I swear by it but other glass cleaners I use that are in a can is Castle, its the absolute best glass cleaner in a spray and in a liquid spray bottle is Sonax for off the shelf. I still like my own mixture.
