    Windshield Cleaner

    I applied Rain-X glass water repellent, "The invisible Windshield Wiper", to the windshield of my Falcon. See: https://www.rainx.com/product/glass-.../#.Vt9y99AppXg

    That proved to be a mistake. It might work well on a new windshield with a smooth surface, but my 53 year old Falcon windshield has all kinds of little pits and scratches. The Rain-X dried to a haze that could not be buffed off, and it filled and highlighted all the little micro-chips. The hazy film caused a terrible glare when the sun would hit it at an angle during my morning commute to work.

    The Rain-X site says: “Rain X® Extreme Clean is the best product to use to remove Rain X® from a glass surface.” I thought "Man, I need some of that stuff."

    I stopped at O’Reilly’s on the way home from work and bought a 12 oz bottle of it for $6.29. I rinsed the windshield with water and used a damp cloth to scrub it with the X-treme Clean. The cleaner was somewhat like thin white toothpaste and evidently contained a gentle abrasive. I rinsed the windshield with water and then buffed it dry with paper towels. It cleaned the film off the windshield and left it sparkling and clear.

    It is nice to have a clean windshield again.
