I was at Menards yesterday (day off home repairs), and it appears
that Rain-X is expanding its product line.

They now have car wash detergent, with wax globules in suspended. I
thought about getting some to try out, but I know I have two pretty
big bottles of other stuff.

Plus, I've seen the wet-wipes Rain-X window washers. Looks kind of
cool.

I like the good old fashioned rub the windows down 3-4 times with this
stuff. I wonder how the quick and easy stuff works.

Paul.
