Use the Carlack Glass Sealant kit at ...

http://tinyurl.com/3apufo

Not only will rain bead off the windows so quick that you will not need to use the wipers as often, but dirt and grime is easy to remove with a rinse and wipe. It is FAR better than RainX.

It is a two step product - a glass cleaner and sealant. The cleaner is great and does not leave a powdery residue like autoglym.

Thanks Ray,

Just visited the website, already send them an email where to buy here in Holland. Perhaps they will also ship to us.

Thanks for the tip!

Rob.

You only wash your car every two weeks? Mine gets washed twice a week - more if weather bad!

I do realise I suffer from obsessive car disorder (OCD), but get the shakes if the car is not clean

Lol. I do mine twice a week if I can. SWMBO says I have OCD and the car gets more attention than her (not true)

I wanted to build a Car Port on the driveway but she says its a waste of money, I tried to point out that she wouldn't like it if she had to sleep outside in the rain but I'm not having much luck with that argument

Has anyone ever tried original Windolene cream or do you use it regulary? I remember using it years ago on one of my Capris as a temporary measure when the wiper motor gave up. The motor was at the back of the dashboard so replacing it wasn't an after work thing.

Anyway, I do remember the Windolene being excellent in keeping the water off the screen - it simply would not stick. I can't remember how long the Windolene was effective for mind you.

I still use it! I used it last weekend when I cleaned the car but only used it on the inside. I have used it on the outside and I like it as you can see where you've put it. Which makes it easy to remove! Only proviso is to be careful you don't get it on interior or exterior trim, (black especially). It will leave a white residue.

Nairda - I meant to say what a fantastic colour that is for a Rover! I had one that colour park outside my house recently - just suits the classic Rover 75 shape!
