Top Comments of this video!! :3
I can not even imagine the amount of money you are turning down to keep this channel unbiased and objective.
I also cannot imagine how much money and hassle with terrible products you have saved countless people like myself.
I can't thank you enough for investing your own time and money toward these well designed tests!

Spot on! I'm a mobile technician in the South and I drive a lot, so I've real-world tested just about every hydrophobic product out there. My personal regimen is Aquapel every 6 months, and keep a bottle of RainX in the back seat.
The only issue I have with Aquapel is that if you use your windshield wipers (bugs, excessively heavy rain that overwhelms the product), it actually scratches the Aquapel layer, installing fine linear scratches in the path of the wiper blades over time, which can lead to borderline crippling hazing and glare in some rain conditions. Because Aquapel is a silica-based product that chemically crosslinks to the glass, it has to be mechanically removed before recoating. Meguiar's Ultimate Polish and a DA polisher works well for me.
In contrast, RainX is a silicone solution emulsified into a wax with an alcohol-based emulsifier. It simply sits on the surface of the glass, and is highly susceptible to heat and mechanical removal (windshield wipers). But it's also dirt cheap and available almost anywhere in North America, and very easy to apply.
Sorry for the text wall! I wanted to add some real-world insight that doesn't translate well into laboratory testing. :)

Another fantastic comparison. Been using Rain-X religiously since the 1980s. First thing i do when I buy a new car is apply it, and reapply maybe once a year. One time I forgot to on a new Explorer. Got caught in a heavy rainstorm on a roadtrip and couldn't see a thing. Had to stop at a Walmart to pick some up. Applied it under cover at the nearest gas station and all was well. You don't even have to use the wipers most of the time - the water just beads up and rolls or flies off. The original and still one of the best. Can't beat it for the price.

Such an amazing channel. And video. The amount of comparisons is like no one else. And the way you can put so much information in such a quick fast video is amazing. The amount of information in this video would take the average person over an hour to do this. You’re the best in the game hands down. Thanks for what you do

One time on the road my wiper motor stopped working in steady rain. At the next truck stop I bought and applied RainX for the first time because I had no other options to be able to keep going. We then drove the next 200 miles all the way home in steady rain without any visibility problems at all! Go RainX!!!!
