Did Rain-x ruin my windshield or is it normal (how to make it better)?

The pesticide kills the rain.

Don't use the pesticide in an open convertible.

(It's fun to drive in the rain in an open convertible. The harder it rains the faster you have to go, but even a heavy rain won't get in at

55 or 60.)

I understand that in 6 US states, past elections have turned on the Rain-x versus the Anti-Rain-x forces. It's expected that this will determine about 31% of the vote, November 2008.

They don't sell enough lighter fluid anymore, so they had to discontinue the bottles.

I have the same opinion. It was great when freshly applied, but was not good when it started to wear through. Then, it took a LOT of effort to get it completely off. I rubbed a lot with lacquer thinner! So I decided not to use it in the future.

Do you see any acne on my windshield? I thought not. Hah.

Could it be car wax? ISTR a similar problem with a van at work. Wiped the glass down with denatured alcohol to remove the film.

Interestingly, they say Rain-X is isopropanol and sulfuric acid!

WTF are you talking about? You've checked 3 different Rain-X branded products (washer fluid, original, and "windshield wax") plus one completely un-related product that isn't even Rain-X! Of COURSE the formulations are different! Sheesh.
