Windshield Issue!!!!!

I have a problem with my windshield. When it rains I can not see thru it. The wipers are fine and I applied turtle wax to help the water bead off, but it did not work. I have rain x in the reserve but it isn't helping either. I know there is something that will make the water bead off, my husband used to do it but he is gone now and I can't figure it out. Please help.

Get some Bon Ami cleanser and scrub the windshield until all the wax is off of it. Then you will have a good place tgo start with the rain x product. Good luck. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

Why does the wax have to be scrubbed off? I have been told to never wax a windshield but my husband did it all the time and it worked well, so I do not know what I am doing wrong. Do you really think the rain x will work for beading the water off?

Yes it will. But the windshield needs cleaned really good first. Wax does not dry really clear and can cause fuzziness or distortion. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

I prefer windshields that don't bead up with waxes or rain-x but I like rain-x on other windows. Wipers even if newer can get build up on them and cleaning them with rubbing alcohol can help. I've gone as far as carb cleaner on a towel with good results but it is hard on rubber products. Rain-x does get to be a problem if you need to repair a small star type crack in the glass which I've had done and the place said that the rain-x about stops them from success with those repairs, T
