Never ever forget your good old friend...
RAINX
Crap really works!
If I still ran vacuum wipers on ANYTHING.
I would add RainX to the trunk kit!
I put it on my vehicles when I remember.
I have driven in a driving rain at night going at highway speeds and not turned the wipers on!
Now,
I do not recomend this practice.
I only did it for the see if I could aspect of it.
Yep, Vacuum wipers?
RAINX.
Could someone send me my endorsement check now? :)
