Product Information

You can also use Rain-X on Shower Doors, or on any glass doors or windows in your home, for more amazing water-beading magic! Unfortunately I won’t be able to give my own experience as to the long-term longevity of the repair, as the whole windshield is being replaced under insurance this week. I was a bit nervous about scratching the “healthy” glass with the razor blade (the instructions tell you to be vigorous) but I cannot see any scratches or damage. However, as a “stop-gap” measure I have been impressed so far by the performance of the Rain-X windshield repair kit. I honestly didn’t think it would work as well as it did, especially considering that I am not a particularly practical person (i.e. I didn’t do a great job at actually completing the repair process) and also that I applied it in a rush in a busy shopping mall carpark. From this point I followed the manufacturer's instruction for attaching the resin chamber, adding drops of resin into it and screwing in the plunger. I let this sit for about 10 minutes.

Would I say this is a pro-grade repair? Of course not. But considering the circumstances and what I needed it to do, I really was rather impressed. How Long Does The Repair Last? As the resin cures it bonds with the glass and dries in a transparent fashion, meaning that you can see through it like normal glass.The Crown Range road is notorious for challenging weather conditions in the winter, such as the time this Australian tourist managed to flip their car in a snow storm when heading off the road to fit snow chains: What is important to understand is that I did not buy the kit with a view that it would provide my car with a permanent repair. The windscreen specialist in Queenstown where I originally took the car made it abundantly clear that the windscreen will need full replacement, and I have already organised this with my insurance company as my car insurance offers excess-free glass cover.

On this particular day, my wife and I had tossed up taking the longer route to Queenstown, but as we were heading to a specific event in Queenstown we decided to save time and drive the Crown Range road. I’m not sure of the scientific principles behind how the resin works, unfortunately. Is The Rain-X Windshield Repair Kit Easy To Use? Apply with a dry cloth and wipe the Rain-X Rain Repellent in a circular, overlapping motion; once you’ve allowed the product to dry, re-apply again and, once the final coat is dry, remove the final layer with a dry cloth or a sprinkling of water. These kits are like the Swiss Army knives of automotive care, using epoxy resin to fill, seal and stabilize those pesky chips 1 inch or less in diameter. But here’s the catch, timing is everything. The sooner you act, the better the results. This recently happened to me on a trip to Queenstown, New Zealand (a town famous for its scenery and plethora of ‘adrenaline-junkie’ activities e.g. bungee jumping, skiing/snowboarding, canyon jetboating etc).One thing to note is that the kit claims it is good for multiple repairs, and certainly there are enough curing sheets supplied. However, because of the way you have to cut the bottle top off to use it, I don’t think it is all that practical to re-use. Should You Buy This Kit? Apply curing strips, move windscreen into direct sunlight. Wait and then scrape off any excess resin. Therefore, it’s imperative for drivers to improve their visibility on the roads - and there’s no better way of doing so than with Rain-X Rain Repellent.
