My best upgrade yet!

[vince@performancecarstereo.com (Vince Royer)]

I gotta poke my head into this one for rain X.  Maybe its just a northern
thing, but it works great up here.  There are a few tricks to using it
though.  You have to make sure you buff it in really, really good.  Dont'
get any on the wiper, it'll wreck it.  It also makes the windsheild
ultra-clean.  Then you just drive fast!  The faster you go the more rain
will fly off.  It's really fun to see.  At night, it can rain as hard as it
wants, and you don't need any wipers.  You don't even see the rain.  You can
only see it when a car shines lights at you, or on a lit road.  But it
actually made my wiper work better too. Don't let any squeegee dudes near
your car, or any gas station attendants.  They'll wreck it with that stuff.
Wash with just water.
