My best upgrade yet!

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

I have to enter this one too.

Here is a trick that those of you experiencing problems with RainX should
try. A very light application of Armor All on a rag then apply it to the
wiper. Does the same thing as RainX. By the way it's the only thing I've
found Armor All useful for.
