Found this stuff a couple of years ago, and I won't put anything else in any of my cars anymore.
Truly [bacon] worthy.

Same here, I tell everyone I know about it. Makes me use my wipers about half as much.
FYI, don't put it in a VW or Audi with headlight washers, it corrodes the internal pumps.
There's a summer version that helps remove bug splatters and a winter version that helps melt ice. [thumbsup]

Is that just VW/Audi, or any headlight washer? I put it in the MINI Cooper, and that uses the same reservoir for headlights and windshield. I'd hate to think I was screwing up the headlight washers.

crap... i could have used that advice a couple of months ago :-\
I don't know about Coopers, In all honesty depending on what year VW/Audi you're probably going to have to replace the pump anyways. They are shit. You'll probably be okay.
What are wipers?
;D
I've been told you can also rub a cut potato over your windscreen and it'll do the same thing.
And also someone has told me you can polish the windscreen and wait till it dries, then wipe off.
I have not tried either to prove otherwise. ???

Really?
this is news to me. granted I don't use the Rain x stuff (I just buy ZEP washer stuff concentrated 3, 5 gallon containers at a time)
I really don't replace very many pumps. the seal between the pump and resoviour, or the plastic connectors yes, but pumps. its probably been 2 years since I've had to replace a pump.
Well, its been about 1.5 years since I've worked at the Audi dealership.
Maybe it depends on where you are.
I know I replaced about a pump (headlight) a week for being corroded on 00-05 A4's.
The gaskets always leak.
