The problem with rain-X is that while freshly rain-X'd is better than
never treated, never treated is far far better than "stale" rain-X'd.
And I've never been able to truly get the stuff off of a glass car
window.

Ditto that. Rain-X works great, but soon loses it's effectiveness,
and leaves a film on the windshield and wiper blades. With RainX,
it's all or nothing.

Plus, Rain-X was not designed to be used on plexiglass. I'm pretty
sure there is a warning to this effect on the label.
