Nothing but rain-x. If you are fogging, it wasn't applied properly. Why anyone wouldn't want to use rain-x is beyond me. Could be driving in a monsoon and you can still see perfectly fine.
Pros: see perfectly fine, monsoon
Trying Rain-X Latitude blades I had gone to the few local shops that carried the Anco blade, but all of them had to order it from their supplier because they didn't keep in in stock. When installing the blade, it clicks into place and is solidly secured. I will be using them from now on as long as they last a year or more.
Pros: solidly secured, clicks in place
RainX Latitude were my favorite with my Mazda 6. They run about $40-50 for the pair, maybe less since the 3 uses smaller blades, and last a long time and work very well.
Pros: last a long time, work very well
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Rain x wipers. The Rain X stuff works wonders...
Pros: works wonders
Vehicle:
BMW
I used the rain-x wipers last year and they were great at clearing snow and ice, and they leave rain-x behind on your windshield. I'm buying them again this year.
Pros: great at clearing snow
I bought those rain-x latitude wiper blades 4 years ago and they are still working fine today and we get pretty harsh weather out here in Texas.
Pros: still working fine
Cons: harsh weather
The rain_x fluid will kill the sensor. Take it out and use brake clean. It should be good after a good cleaning. As long as the contacts on the sensor itself are clean it should be good to go.
Pros: easy to clean
Cons: kills the sensor
In my TT, I had been using orange colored Rain-X washer fluid in my car for nearly 2 years... It finally reached critical mass in my car at the beginning of September. Yellow fill washer fluid light has been on for weeks despite the tank being full.
Cons: sensor not working
Vehicle:
Audi TT
Confirmed: Orange RainX is the problem I called Rainex and after negotiating the maze that is their company phone system, I spoke to someone who seemed to know all about the problem. She said they were reformulating the product to avoid this going forwards. According to them, the sensor is not damaged by the orange Rainx but rather the sensor is "blocked" by the orange deposit.
Pros: reformulating the product
Cons: sensor is blocked
Vehicle:
Audi A3
