Rain X 600001 Windscreen Repair Kit - white/clear

Product Information

Rain-X Anti-Fog is designed to eliminate condensation caused by wet weather, high humidity and temperature changes. Therefore, it’s imperative for drivers to improve their visibility on the roads - and there’s no better way of doing so than with Rain-X Rain Repellent. The Rain-X Additive allows you to keep your windscreen clean, helping to remove bug residue, tree sap and road grime from your car. The new and improved formula helps anti-fogging protection, and even works well under high humidity conditions - ideal for reducing condensation on interior glass and windows whilst you’re driving on colder, damper days. Unfortunately I won’t be able to give my own experience as to the long-term longevity of the repair, as the whole windshield is being replaced under insurance this week.

This 5L ready-to-use rain repellent applies water-beading technology every time the windscreen was is used on your car, aiding in providing better visibility alongside cleaning your windscreen. After the curing process (which I probably didn’t wait quite long enough for but I was in a hurry) you peel off the curing sheets and begin the strangely satisfying process of scraping off the excess dried resin with the included razor blade.. I was a bit nervous about scratching the “healthy” glass with the razor blade (the instructions tell you to be vigorous) but I cannot see any scratches or damage. I then removed the tools according to the manufacturers instructions, applied a drop of resin to the impact point and covered it with a curing strip from the kit. Once I moved my car to direct sunlight I let it sit for 20 minutes. I touched the curing strip all around the point of impact and saw that no resin was still liquid under the strip, removed it, and scrapped off the excess with the razor blade. This recently happened to me on a trip to Queenstown, New Zealand (a town famous for its scenery and plethora of ‘adrenaline-junkie’ activities e.g. bungee jumping, skiing/snowboarding, canyon jetboating etc).Add the Rain-X Cleaner to your washer fluid reservoir, to ensure that the additive is spread across your windscreen every time you clean your glass on the road. You can also use the Rain-X in your bathroom; try it on your glass mirrors to avoid fogging up after you’ve had a shower. In “rip-off New Zealand” we generally pay a lot more money for everything than our American, Australian and British counterparts.

Buff off the Rain-X Fog treatment with a dry cloth or a paper towel - ensure you don’t drive until the windscreen is completely clear. Rain-X Application is simple and easy - just ensure your windscreen is clean and dry before treating the exterior glass. One thing to note is that the kit claims it is good for multiple repairs, and certainly there are enough curing sheets supplied. However, because of the way you have to cut the bottle top off to use it, I don’t think it is all that practical to re-use. Should You Buy This Kit?The excess dried resin comes off in white flakes, which makes a bit of a mess. It took me about 5 minutes to do a thorough job here, as I didn’t want any leftover resin obstructing the view. From this point I followed the manufacturer's instruction for attaching the resin chamber, adding drops of resin into it and screwing in the plunger. I let this sit for about 10 minutes. In the instructions, the manufacturer recommends you hold the blade at a 90 degree angle. However, I found this hard to scrape any excess off with, so instead worked the blade at approximately 45 degrees to the windshield, and used short, fast motions to scrape off the excess residue. Removing the resin residue with the included razor blade I’m not sure of the scientific principles behind how the resin works, unfortunately. Is The Rain-X Windshield Repair Kit Easy To Use? Unscrew and remove pressure driver from the resin chamber to release any air trapped in the chamber. Make sure there is no air bubble remaining in the break, by looking at the glass at an angle of 45 0. For chips or bull’s eyes, examine the glass from behind the damage area. Repeat step 4 or 5 until your desired results are achieved. Make sure there is enough repair resin or add more repair resin if needed.

You can also use Rain-X on Shower Doors, or on any glass doors or windows in your home, for more amazing water-beading magic! Please note I shot these images on my phone camera (a semi-recent Samsung Note) so the picture quality isn’t amazing. But hopefully it communicates the point for you well enough. Rain-X Car Wash provides streak free cleaning whilst repelling rain, sleet and snow, assisting in safer driving conditions while you’re driving. Yet again someone has copied a perfectly good idea and made it un-reliable by cheaping out on the materials used to make it. The result is that you won't know which kits to trust to do a good job and which will be the rubbish ones. Read full review When the entire application is complete, move the car to direct sunlight for about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove curing strips. Scrape clean the hardened excess resin with the razor blade.I was driving my Subaru Legacy wagon from the town of Wanaka – where I had been staying to do some skiing – across the Crown Range road (aka “Crown Ranges”). This is a twisty piece of road that effectively provides a shortcut over the mountains that separate Wanaka from Queenstown. It is also the highest piece of road in New Zealand. The Crown Range road route is highlighted in blue – you can see there is a difference of around 40km versus the grey route (1hr 24min) The repair kit is also easy to apply. In less than an hour, your windshield will look good as new, as the resin blends well with the windshield. If you apply the Rain-X Windshield, you can have clean car windows without hassle. Aside from that, waxing car windows will be easy. Features – Rain X Windshield repair kit Not sure what product is right for you?
