I agree with that mostly -- but even after a few weeks, it still prevents 
water to form a sheet on the window -- so though you still have to use your 
wipers at low speed, it does dramatically help your vision -- and I've gone 
as long as a year without reapplying, and water still beads slightly.

If you don't believe me, drive a car in the rain that's never had Rain-X 
and you'll be shocked at how bad visibility is...
