I loved using rain x during the rainy season as I don't need to use the wipers often in highways.
Pros: reduces wiper use, hydrophobic effect

This morning it was -3'c and the cameras were all crystal clear still, so I guess it works at these (not too extreme) freezing temps.
Pros: cameras crystal clear, works in freezing temps
Cons: not tested in extreme cold
Seems to be doing the trick with fogging and the cold although not had really freezing temperatures here yet (I'm in the north of the UK)
Pros: helps with fogging, works in cold
Cons: not tested in extreme cold
Also buy a bottle of Rain-X and apply it - that stuff is magic even in horrendous downpours.
Pros: magic in downpours, effective
Rain X works fine if you clean the windshield good before applying it. If the glass is properly treated, wipers are not needed...they actually shorten the Rain X treatment period from ~3 months to about 40 days. Leave those damn wipers off!
Pros: wipers not needed, works fine
Cons: wipers shorten treatment period
I have had nothing but good experience with Rain-X. Your windshield may not have been clean enough prior to application. Streaking can sometimes be seen with newer wiper blades if they are not clean and still have mold release on them.
Pros: good experience
rain-x is good. Heck the VW wsher concentrate has that Rain-X like stuff in it also
Pros: good product
I have used RainX for as log as I can remember and probably even before that (something like 20+ years maybe?). I have never had problem w/ streaks; then again, I use the RainX often enough that I don’t use the wipers as the water beads-off @ ~25mph.
Pros: no streaks, water beads off
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have been using Rain X for 7-8 yrs and also have noticed right after it is applied, the glass has alot of streaks, but I usually apply it prior to washing the vehicle. No problems once it's clean.
Pros: no problems once clean
Cons: streaks right after application
Made the mistake of putting it on my windshield..... now everytime the wipers go, the god damn crap makes streaks alll over the windshield which makes things super -unvisable.
Cons: makes streaks, super unvisable
