Would this be good for applying Rain-X to my windshield?

I dont see why not. But i also dont see how it would be better than a regular microfiber cloth. You dont spray the window directly. Spray the cloth then rub the window. Flip over to dry

No. You apply rain-x the same way you apply glass cleaner. Spray it on and wipe off. Paper towel, or other. I prefer using a microfiber towel when cleaning glass

I don't know how you will apply it but it seals small openings very well. A leaky windshield would be best sealed by cutting the old molding out clean the surfaces and replace with new molding. Windshield replacement companies can do it quick and for less than 100 bucks.

Have only used it on a snow blower, and it's great for that. I would not use it on a windshield, since it might leave a film.

Myler, I would say yes. Trying to take this off my windshield, to move it to a different car, the self stickiness made it very hard. It isn't just a suction cup, it's also a STRONG sticker.

yes it's amazing on showers! doesn't last as long though since it gets wet more often than your windshield probably does so you have to reapply it more.

Greetings, Merrilee... I imagine it would work just fine. Bear in mind that you're in for a LONG process when removing scratches. It took HOURS for me to get my windshield scratches out. I inadvertently also didn't get it completely even as well. But, the finished project was a HUGE improvement over the scratches that made it difficult to see in bad weather. Also, PLEASE watch some videos on youtube in order to learn the "proper" way in which to polish glass. It will really help when you finally tackle the project. I hope this helps.

I would think so. We put it on our glass front storm door which gets afternoon sun and it works well. And, it's very easy to apply, just make sure you get all of the air bubbles out. I ordered the spray and the "scrapper" along with the glare control. Good luck!!

I have not tried Rain-X on plastic shields. THE LABEL STATES: DO NOT USE on plastics unless pre-approved by the manufacturer of the plastic to be treated. Do not use on or allow product to contact painted surfaces, non-clear surfaces trated with anti-reflective, scratch resistant or other coatings. - There is a car wash that is termed AUTO DRYING that tends to make the water run off the car body, similar to what Rain-X does to glass that should be ok to use on plastic visors. Look in the car wash soap section at the store and read the label. Also, the motorcycle shops carry something that should take care of what you want to do.

Assuming you are talking about the glossy gel coat side of the cover I would think so. I lifted a large round window myself and was impressed with the holding power, the quality of the item, and the release is easy when done. You could smear a light film of vaseline on the suction cup, but if you have a glossy surface you should be fine.

I think it depends on the crack... I tried using this on a crack on my windshield and it was too small or tight for the liquid to get in there and do its thing... and so the crack is still there. I think this stuff is decent, but keep in mind that it's a temporary fix for the inevitable need to replace your windshield altogether. Hope that helps.

I have never used Rain-x, but I believe it is a clear liquid. Glass wax cleaner is a thick liquid that goes on thick and then you wipe it off. It cleans, then leaves a protective, slick finish. I do not believe they are at all alike.

I'm assuming this would be for your roof. I've used and recommended this to many people I know. NEVER EVER heard anything disappointing. You can use this on laminate shingles! You will think it works like magic. I suggest applying it for the first time before a rainfall. Good luck!

I would do a test spot first. The water repellant will form a haze on the glass that requires a follow up wipe down with clean towel and water. I prefer the 100% Rain-X over the 2 in 1 glass cleaner. Read the recommendations on the back of the bottle.

Probably would work, but will not 'dry' clear. I'd suggest a windhield star repair kit, that stuff is designed to fix stars in windhields, I've used it for that purpose, it works. Look for 'windshield star patch kit' or similar search.

This is an expanding type glue and could raise the vinyl off the roof of the car. I would not recommend it for that. You should be looking for a spray type of glue.
