Please provide feedback if you buy it. Price seems reasonable (provided it works for up to 1 year).

Hmm, Rainaway.... I think I saw something similar at Jusco yesterday (though I could be mistaken, these type of products, always got the word "Rain" + something. Anyway, this appears to be similar in form and function to Rain-X. Only question now is if it will "kill" our wipers (rubber, not silicone)....

If I go to Jusco again, I will try to confirm.

KL where? is it sold in retail shops? Hm might need bro mcwk to confirm. From what i understand rain-x will kill your rubber since it's silicone based (cheap but doesn't last long). There's a silica based coating which last longer, safe on the rubber but not as cheap. I heard that car manufacturers use the silica type on all their new cars.

Is your screen losing it's water repellency?

Found someone selling it on another forum. Response seems favourable but would like to heard opinion from fellow FD owners. Price is still RM49.90.

The product should looked like this:

i using the same procut but bought it last time at flea market at curve
for rm45 per pack bout 3 months.they even demo the product on the spot.
after using it for like 4 months the water does not repel like when its new.

but when i sit my frens vios who bought it the same time wit me still works really well.no need to even viper durin heavy rain. and he is travellin at bout slow speeds and the water still repels very well.

my main advice neva wash ur glass using soap use plain water is always best.

haha i always use stoner invisible glass which i bought overseas to wip then glass thats why i think it does not repel that well anymore. (stoner is a very strong glass cleaner)

my conclusion-- good try for the price. shud be able to last u up to
6months at least. but for me its bit pricey so i use rainx which i have to apply at least once a month becuz i travel frequently.

i've used rain x b4, it loses the repellency v fast , 2-4wks

then few yrs back, Turtlewax came out with 'ClearVue' n had a demo running in kedai 'abang' so i bought n tried it....dam effective, no need wipers, water beads like disco lights, lasted longer bout 4-8 wks

however, i always wonder if it 'eats' up our windscreen or not...

so i nvr use it on my FD, only older cars
