RainX is very good, but I personally don't like it on the windscreen. To me it seems to fog as the wipers pass the screen, but it clears very quick, it's just I'm not keen on not seeing much for a few splits of a second, I do like it on the side windows because no rain stays on them as you move off.
Washed my shammy leather with some TCP to kill the slimey bugs so it lasts longer. Wiped my windscreen with shammy one day, and remaining residues of TCP worked like RAIN-X !! Above 40-50mph in rain no need for wipers. May try it again sometime. Sorry, not wishing to spoil the rainx story.
I used to use it, then figured there was a stick on the right of the steering column that made the wipers wipe - been using that ever since 
Rain-X worked OK, but I couldn't be doing with the faff of applying it, wipe on, dampen, polish off etc. I just use the wipers now.
Mer Body polish on the side windows however is wonderful, stops them getting dirty.
Actually, use Mer on the house windows too - means I only have to clean them twice a year!

Of all the products I have bought from motor factors over the years, RainX is the best one I have used.
It doesn't just eliminate the use of the wipers if you so wish, but it increases the efficiency of your blades to clear the water from the screen. Clean the blades, and wipe some on them too, not just the screen.
Basically, follow the instructions on the bottle. They're there for a reason.

Rain X sponsor BRAKE though (as above) and its more of a domestic product. I find G5 lasts much longer.
