Rain-X has gained wide acclaim both locally and internationally as the original glass treatment range for vastly improved windscreen visibility, an essential contribution to safer driving.

The micro polymer emulsion formula found in Rain-X products is the first real innovation in glass cleaning technology. It works like an invisible windscreen wiper by repelling rain, sleet and snow on contact with all vehicle glass including side and rear windows, external mirrors and headlights.

How does Rain-X work? The transparent polymer coating fills the pores of glass with inert molecules that are chemically bonded to the surface to make rain, sleet and snow "bead up" and roll off. This process also reduces the adhesion and build up of frost, salt, mud, insects and road grime - giving the driver clearer vision at all times.

Totally unaffected by sunlight or temperature, Rain-X resists soaps, solvents and car wash detergents, is totally invisible and non reflective, and will not crack, peel or discolour.

It can be applied as often as necessary as it bonds to the surface - not to itself, so there is no build up. Therefore, it is also not necessary to remove the old Rain-X coating. A fresh application simply fills in the voids and rejuvenates the previous treatment.

Rain-X is also durable, with the life of each application depending on the frequency of vehicle and wiper use. Application frequency has been estimated at monthly intervals for windscreens, with side and rear windows requiring treatment every two to three months.

When Rain-X is regularly applied to maintain peak performance, the harder that it rains, the better the product works. At highway speeds Rain-X provides outstanding clearance and visibility - even without the use of wipers.

Interior glass fogging and steaming is also a safety hazard, particularly during night driving. Rain-X has also developed a break through product to solve this potentially dangerous impairment to a clear view through windscreens, rear windows and mirrors.

Rain-X Anti-Fog is a highly effective water activated polymeric composition that absorbs moisture, clearing glass and mirrors instantly. Rain-X Anti-Fog works by imparting a micro-thin invisible layer of moisture absorbing molecules that are extremely resistant to condensation. Easy application means that seemingly endless waiting to clear fogging and steaming vehicle interior glass becomes a thing of the past. This product eliminates the unpredictable build up of steam and fog on interior glass and mirrors.

From ready to apply towelettes, to 103ml and 207ml handy glove box sized containers, Rain-X is available in the size and package to suit every motorist. These choices in packaging ensure that all user needs are catered for, from individual one off application users, to users responsible for the maintenance and safety of a fleet of vehicles.

As Rain-X is one of the vast range of Pennzoil-Quaker State Australia’s automotive consumer products, marketing manager Monique Wilson believes that this product will become even more popular with motorists in the future.

"The Rain-X range consists of unique products that dramatically improve driving visibility," Ms Wilson said.

"Feedback to us from consumers actively using the product has been excellent. We look forward to promoting the Rain-X range more aggressively in the future as we believe that this product is a necessity for enhanced road safety."
