I have never used rain repellent before and was just about to order some Rain X but a quick search on the internet and Gyeon Q2 won in a test recently so just wondered what are your best rain repellants? ps - needs to be easy to apply! Thanks

Do these still smear with light rain / mist when you need to use the wipers?

I’ve found keeping the glass clean and having decent wipers the best option.

Indeed, never found the need for a special windshield application.

When I first used RainX twenty odd years ago, I had that issue, but I've found the Glaco stuff to work fine in terms of how much ghosting I get.

It easy to use and the glass seems to stay cleaner. Yrs ago as a biker I used to use it on my visor, helped with misting and she'd rain more easily.
