The Gadgets Page

We were driving home to Salt Lake City, Utah from Mount Hood, Oregon. Somewhere in Idaho, the rain hit us hard. The wind was blowing and the windshield wipers couldn’t keep up with the rain. Then it got even worse. The wind started blowing our wipers OFF the windshield. For at least ten seconds, the wipers weren’t touching the glass, yet we could still see. The Rain-X that I had put into the windshield wiper fluid had made the glass water repellent. I truly believe that in those ten seconds when the wipers were blown off the windshield, Rain-X saved our lives.

After the rain slowed down and we regain our wits about ourselves (stopped screaming like lunatics), we realized that we should have taken a video of how well the Rain-X was working for the Gadgets Page. We found a nearly empty portion of the freeway. I filmed while Mike drove. He turned off the windshield wipers so you can see how much the Rain-X was actually doing. The rain had actually calmed down a bit by the time we remembered to video this, but I think it shows how well Rain-X works.

The funny thing is that I didn’t buy Rain-X because of its wonderful water repellent properties. I had been out of windshield wiper fluid. The store where I bought some was out of the inexpensive blue stuff, so I mindlessly sprung for the more expensive brand without even looking at it. Worth every penny!

Seriously, right now. Go out and get Rain-X for your car. I can’t stress how well it works. Not even this video shows how great it is. It could actually save your life.
