I despise the way it stains the plastic of the washer fluid tank. I WILL NOT USE.
Cons: stains plastic tank
Reviews of rainx washer fluid

In the days of my Mk IIIs I used Rain-X washer fluid. It made the lower seal below the windshield turn into soft crumbly gum. At least I've always assumed it was the Rain-X stuff. I haven't used it since. It worked pretty well as Rain-X with no rubbing, though. I was impressed until it came apart. Fortunately the seal had some mysterious purpose, as it was outside and below the windshield and the loss of it didn't cause water leaks.
Pros: worked well as Rain-X
Cons: damaged windshield seal
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I've been using the orange Rain-X washer fluid for about 6mo, it's not as good as a freshly applied coat of Rain-X but it's also easy to reapply and keep at a constant quality (just use the window sprayer). It's well worth the minimal cost and effort for reasonably good results, as opposed to Rain-X which is more effort especially if it's raining outside and the results degrade fairly quickly.
Pros: easy to reapply, constant quality, good results
Cons: not as good as fresh coat
Defiantly blue stuff. I used to use the green Rain X in a Honda Civic and it gummed up the line and motor to the point I had to have it replaced twice.
Cons: gummed up line and motor

I used to use rainx washer fluid. It gets reapplied every time you use your washerfluid so as far as application, there really isn't any. Water beaded up and on the highway even in heavy rain i wouldnt have to use my wipers as the rain slicked off like stars in a star wars movie. But it's not cheap.
Pros: water beaded up
Cons: not cheap
I recently used the new rain-x formula and I still got my sensor washer light come on now and won't go away swapped back over to the cheap blue washer formula.
Cons: sensor light stays on
Yeah I’ve had no issues with sensors or freezing while using the orange rainx in my past two vehicles. I just like the beading effect the rainx has on the glass. Makes a huge difference in the rain.
Pros: no issues with freezing, beading effect
Just dont use the rainx fluid (orange). The blue stuff that has the cold rating (sold at gas stations) is good enough for me.
Pros: good enough for me
Cons: dont use rainx fluid
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
Rain X and VW -- fail \u00d7 2 I dealt with this issue for my daughter's Mk 6 Golf. IMO it is a lame fail, by two corporations not taking responsibility for their product failure(s).
Cons: lame fail
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
