Who all uses RAIN X car wash??

Fg2ner · 08-03-2006, 11:08 PM

Just seeing who all uses the RAIN X car wash with wax beads it is one of the nicest washes i like i also use NXT car wash then i use black magic wheel and tire foam. Thanks sickyute for showing me that rain x

I use Rain-X on my windows and headlights, but I don't use the car wash. I think I bought it once (as well as the wipers) and noticed nothing different.

I use rain-x on my 72 Torino as its wipers aren't working. lol.

**sickyute** · 08-04-2006, 10:57 PM

i use it...but u know that already
i think it's the one of the best if not the best car wash i've ever used.
i sometimes use the nxt car wash also...
love the rain x though...can't say enuff about it.

I agree. I found this about 5 years ago when i worked at Advance Autoand haven't used anything different since then. Its just so easy for a lazy ass like me to get a half way decent looking car w/o having to spend all day waxing it.

cool,ive seen it at stores but really never picked it up to try it..i will now

JeShUa · 08-06-2006, 04:54 AM

Hm.. I have something gold wash idk,, but when that runs out I'll try out the rain x

I dunno, I could've sworn it said you can use it on headlights, foglights, and windows or mirrors?

I'll have to check. In any case, I haven't applied any lately, but if I was mistaken, I won't do it anymore.

i just bought some, i'll let you know

edit: it works better than any other car wash stuff i've used. good stuff!

BLU BY U · 08-07-2006, 10:03 PM

i use it and love it.

mikeg210 · 08-08-2006, 05:03 PM

i used it and it rained, and it didnt do shit, i still have little brown water spots all over the place, so from my personal experience..... it sucks

BLU BY U · 08-08-2006, 09:02 PM

you car will get water spots no matter what you use. i like it becuase it doesnt strip my wax and doesnt leave a soapy film.

2evolved · 08-08-2006, 09:44 PM

I use rain-x for windows and lights too.. not the wash, might try it though now that you mentioned it.

rain-x stuff is great overall... I can cruise on the freeway at 80mph in pouring rain without using my wipers and have good visibility.

BLU BY U · 08-08-2006, 10:13 PM

^ +1 ......although i dont use it on my si, we use it on all the other vehicles.

kenchan · 08-11-2006, 03:37 PM

you can also use some water-based spray-on waxes (like Griot's Garage
SprayOnWax) and have similar effect.

imo, much easier to apply and buff than regular window Rain-X.

RainX from my experience was hard to buff... and when you use
water to buff (per instructions), majority of the stuff comes off...

if anyone local chi-town wants my remaining bottle, let me know.
you can have it. lol....

kenchan · 08-11-2006, 03:39 PM

oops, you guys were talkin' car wash.

my bad

benmunger · 10-24-2006, 10:56 AM

i use clothing soap on my car... i find that Tide takes off the dirt the best. It even takes off the paint some times

j/k

ive been using rainX for several years now... sudds really well.
