Yea rain-x rules. When I had it on my other car people would give me the look for never having wipers on in downpours.

You can you just dont need to, and it probably wears off the window faster if you use wipers but you need wipers at low speeds anyway.

Anyone know where to get those PIAA wipers locally and hopefully save on shipping?

Gotta update. Finally got to use these on a long drive. The PIAA's rawk!!!

They put down a silicone layer when you set them up right. Water just beads off. It was pouring and I never turn the wiper up above the lowest intermittent setting. There just wasn't that much water to wipe away.

I turned the wipers off completely for a while just to test and I could see just fine. Awesome product, and I don't have to worry about applying anything. I just have to run the wipers "dry" if the beading isn't doing as good.

Oh, I have the fairing one on the driver side and there is no chattering or re-depositing of water on the windsheild.

Rain-X + crazy downpour + wipers at the normal speed = awesome. I saw a problem with you guys saying that the wipers bring back all the water, but since it comes back in huge beads rain-X takes it all off. I've had no trouble at all w/ my car's wipers with rain-X

If its clean snow/slush it works great, but when salts get into play, like the crap that gets thrown up driving to Tahoe- that stuff pretty much destroys the Rain-X protection.
