Rain X 600001 Windscreen Repair Kit - white/clear

Product Information

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. 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? Buff off the Rain-X Fog treatment with a dry cloth or a paper towel - ensure you don’t drive until the windscreen is completely clear.

Rain-X Car Wash provides streak free cleaning whilst repelling rain, sleet and snow, assisting in safer driving conditions while you’re driving. 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. However, I would imagine that for small repairs – and done correctly – the resin would last a long time.The repair kit is also easy to apply. In less than an hour, your windshield will look good as new, as the resin blends well with the windshield. If you apply the Rain-X Windshield, you can have clean car windows without hassle. Aside from that, waxing car windows will be easy. Features – Rain X Windshield repair kit The new and improved formula helps anti-fogging protection, and even works well under high humidity conditions - ideal for reducing condensation on interior glass and windows whilst you’re driving on colder, damper days. 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.

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? When the entire application is complete, move the car to direct sunlight for about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove curing strips. Scrape clean the hardened excess resin with the razor blade. The Rain-X Windshield Repair Kit is easy to use and takes only 30 minutes to repair a variety of small damage to a windscreen. 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). Add the Rain-X Cleaner to your washer fluid reservoir, to ensure that the additive is spread across your windscreen every time you clean your glass on the road.

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! After the curing process (which I probably didn’t wait quite long enough for but I was in a hurry) you peel off the curing sheets and begin the strangely satisfying process of scraping off the excess dried resin with the included razor blade..

Yet again someone has copied a perfectly good idea and made it un-reliable by cheaping out on the materials used to make it. The result is that you won't know which kits to trust to do a good job and which will be the rubbish ones. Read full review Not sure what product is right for you?

Rain-X Car Wash provides streak free cleaning whilst repelling rain, sleet and snow, assisting in safer driving conditions while you're driving. You can also use the Rain-X in your bathroom; try it on your glass mirrors to avoid fogging up after you’ve had a shower.Whether you’re using wipes or the 200ml bottle, ensure the glass is clean before use; apply the Rain-X Anti-Fog Wipes to the interior glass surface, using circular motions to ensure the whole screen is treated. Please note I shot these images on my phone camera (a semi-recent Samsung Note) so the picture quality isn’t amazing. But hopefully it communicates the point for you well enough. Unscrew and remove pressure driver from the resin chamber to release any air trapped in the chamber. Make sure there is no air bubble remaining in the break, by looking at the glass at an angle of 45 0. For chips or bull’s eyes, examine the glass from behind the damage area. Repeat step 4 or 5 until your desired results are achieved. Make sure there is enough repair resin or add more repair resin if needed.

I then removed the tools according to the manufacturers instructions, applied a drop of resin to the impact point and covered it with a curing strip from the kit. Once I moved my car to direct sunlight I let it sit for 20 minutes. I touched the curing strip all around the point of impact and saw that no resin was still liquid under the strip, removed it, and scrapped off the excess with the razor blade.The excess dried resin comes off in white flakes, which makes a bit of a mess. It took me about 5 minutes to do a thorough job here, as I didn’t want any leftover resin obstructing the view. I’m not sure of the scientific principles behind how the resin works, unfortunately. Is The Rain-X Windshield Repair Kit Easy To Use? Worth a go at a diy repair considering how cheap this is. Appearance of chip improved a lot, didn't disapear but it got an old car through another mot. Watch the youtube videos first, they give a better idea than just the instruction sheet.
