More than anything else it will ruin your visibility in rain, it will smear
something horrible as the wax starts to wear. Won't
do the wiper blades any good

Yes, we did it. I can not tell a lie. We wiped Air Force alert vehicles
(4-door crew cab pickups) down with Diesel fuel in lieu of laborious wax
jobs.

IIRC, Marshall used to recommend using Bonami to clean the windshield. I have
used that, followed by two applications of
Rejex http://www.rejex.com/ successfully. I used to use a product called Glass
Waxbut it is NLA. It was in a pink can.

More than anything else it will ruin your visibility in rain, it will
smear something horrible as the wax starts to wear. Won't
do the wiper blades any good, either, and it's impossible to get
the wax off them, you will need to replace them.

I have used Rain-X since it first came out and was sold through dealers, a la
Amsoil.
You have to apply it per the directions, and do so exactly as described. Two
coats to assure proper coverage, and a good buffing afterwards with a lightly
dampened cloth.
I use it regularly, and have done so
it.
