My latest Crown Vic had RainX on its windshield from the previous owner, and despite my usual feelings about the stuff I've kept using it as it seemed simpler than trying to get it (completely) off. I'm reapplying somewhat often (for the little bit the car gets used) and I gotta say that for what I'm using that car for it's overall net-positive.
I was debating Aquapel, but then I read Dan's
...which isn't really as strong as a fresh Rain-X application.
And I wonder if I'd be happiest just sticking with the RainX :think:
Yeah, I know...this is the opposite of my usual "do it once, infrequently" approach to detailing. I'm kinda acting out-of-character on this whole topic!
Somebody wanna convince me to do something different?
Still wondering the best way to strip the RainX (and no, I don't plan on using the propane torch method :grinno: ). The new windshield I had installed in Accumulatorette's A8 has some kind of coating that I'm not thrilled with, gotta figure out how to remove that too...she kinda likes it so maybe I'll redo with Aquapel or something...eh, I could do without thinking about this stuff
