this stuff was an additive, instructions read "add 4 ounces per gallon of washer fluid.
I might try Willwrens no touch idea, spring is here in Oklahoma and should have plenty of rain to use it in

You really want the best product? Try PPG Aquapel. Get it from your local auto glass dealer. They may insist on applying it themselves, but mine sells it to me over the counter.

As for the quality of RainX, I haven't gotten around to using it yet, but my mother uses the wipe-on kind, and I've never seen water sheet off of the windsheild so well..she never uses her wipers at all.

WIth Rain-X its worked so well for me, I remember driving in a bad rainstorm last fall, the rains where so heavy....but the Rain-X sheeting really compliemented the wipers nicely...
Its a great product.

But if you keep up with it...and apply it regularly...it works very well
I won't go without it...
