Rain X washer fluid
Mike Y
I've heard that RainX will clog the windshield washers on some cars. Clog
up the washer jets, or maybe clogging the pump.
Anyway, I have one car that I've been using RainX in for a couple of years,
and the washer IS getting weak. And a friend's car is also showing a weak
washer system.
So... Anyone else experiencing this? And if it is RainX at fault, and not
just dirt or contamination, is there a way to clean it out? I'm wondering,
if it's a waxy buildup, would just running HOT water through the system
clean out any wax deposit?

and the side windows, I use it on the windshield on my Harley. I
NEVER USE IT ON THE WINDSHIELD OF MY VEHICLES. It will mess up your
wipers and the windshield. With the Florida sun it will cause an
oxidation on the glass (a purple haze) and it is a bitch to get off. I
had to use a rubbing compound to get it off the glass.

I doubt hot water would do it. Have you ever tried removing the
liquid fabric softener buildup in a washing machine? You have to
scrape it off.

of some sort over time. A very fine wire can be used to clean them out.
This seems to happen regardless of the wiper fluid used.
I have used RainX, although not consistently, in the several vehicles we
have and others we owned over the years. We have not experienced
failures of pumps.

I'm under the impression RainX washer fluid is just mostly wax in
suspension. I know it can come off with certain dish detergents. Maybe
I'll have to make up a bucket of Palmolive in hot water and pump that
through to try to clean it out.

excellent for a couple months and I am pleased in my own opinion. First I
get all the built off residue off.
It is winter here so none of that now.

from clouding and restore headlamp covers that have become clouded. However
Nu-Finish is a polymer, like RainX, so it will build on the windshield.
RainX and Nu-Finish are best reserved for side glass.

normal washer fluid. it helps to take a rag soaked with steaming hot water
and clean off the nozzles every now and then.
I used to use the liquid on the windshield every few months. Until I tried
the washer fluid. I still use the liquid on my motorcycle helmet.
Everything just beads up and rolls off.
Love the stuff, especially in the winter. :-)

I used the Rain X washer fluid starting in December. The sprayer from
my washer pump got weaker and weaker and finally stopped pumping
altogether. I had to get the washer pump replaced. I'm getting rid of
the Rain X and going back to the cheap stuff.

Why? What evidence do you have that Rain X had anything to do with the
pump failure?
