Rain X

Anyone tried Rain X (or similar product) on a boat windscreen, I am thinking
of trying this next season so any info on how effective it is would be
welcome.

I have used Rain X on the boat windows for several years, and although
it needs to be re-applied regularly, it is certainly worthwhile, as
the wipers are hardly ever used. In fact, I would not consider NOT
using it.

Do you have glass or perspex windows? Mine are a type of hard perspex.

My windows are glass.
I have just read the label, on the front it says "The original glass
treatment", and on the back " Do not apply to plastic or paint
surfaces", so it may not be suitable for perspex.

I may get some & try on some scrap material before getting anything near the
boat! Do you have any perspex you could experiment with?

I don't have any perspex, but have tried on a scrap of clear
polycarbonate (Lexan), which seems to be unaffected ( no misting or
softening) but now sheds water as if it were glass. You could always
try it on an out of the way corner of the windscreen before going the
whole hog !
