It does say that it should be reapplied every month or saw, so I would guess that it would gradually disappear if the vinegar / meths trick doesn't work.

Out of curiosity why do you want to remove it? I think it's great stuff - big improvement in visability (particularily noticeable over the last few weeks).

I'm just fed up with the juddering wipe blades, and it's not very good in the misty rain, I think it's great in proper rain, proper droplets but in misty stuff crap!
I did leave it the other year on my previous car (Cavalier Turbo)with just one coating and it was still on it working 8 months later and many many washes!

I've noticed the juddering blades a couple of time when it's very light rain - but I've put up that http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

There's me faithfully reapplying the stuff every month and it looks like I've been conned http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

In that case I think I would go with the meths trick!

How do you totally remove RainX from your windows? does anybody know?
I've used the window cleaning stuff that comes with it but that doesn't really seem to remove it.

You'd have drunk the meths long before it got anywhere near your windscreen..... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

The best way to remove it is to use a glass polish. RainX does make a glass polish. It took me a while to find the stuff so you may not be able to find it in the UK. I biught the polish to clean off the embedded grim on the windshield.

I know Jaguar dealers have glass polish to prep second hand cars with, so I would presume others do too. I's just ask at the dealers next time or maybe WoW can halp

Chandler,

If i remember right, halfords do a make of rain repellent that has a "pre-clean" solution that goes with it, that removes the old dirt/grease/rain repellent. Only looked at the stand briefly a couple of weeks ago but it may be worth a trip to a store to see what they have.

Cheers

Try Autoglym "fast glass", i used it and it cleaned my windscreen a treat, Halfords sell it for about 4 pounds
