Recently bought a Pro******* Brands Rain Stain Removal, it really removed the rain stain. I applied it to all my car's glass mirror including both side mirror as well. It gave me a good result. However, when come to the front mirror, oh .. god..! I realized that the rain stain has gone, but it gave me a big trouble. The front mirror become matte surface, blur on the surface. It cannot be removed even I applied the rain stain remover for few times. I dunno what happen. Do anybody know how to solve. Why this product with an award records can make this thing happened?

It make me difficult to drive in day or night due to the vision from the glass.

My photo explain everything.

hmm...you should have asked around first before start using this stain removal. based on your pic, this is almost similar like another brand call tomcat which contained high concerntrated acid. if your windscreen got micro scratches/holes, then this liquid will fill in those gaps and create result like foggy/matte. 2yrs back, i heard this is very hard to get it removed. i think you need to google and see if any forumers successfully get it done.

Dear CYOTERRENCE,

As what you mentioned the product give you good results but unfortunately you did not read the instruction. The instruction has clearly stated CAUTION-DO NOT APPLY ON WINDSCREEN WITH RAIN REPELLENT, DO NOT APPLY ON COATED MIRROR,... The problem occured due to your windscreen with rain repellent. IT IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PRODUCT BUT ONLY YOUR HANDLING MATTER.
The only way to minimise the matt surface is to polish the surface with rubbing compound.

thanks for all your replies, bros.. Unfortunately, I am not aware of the windshield was coated. And I am sure that not applied rain repellant to the screen previously. Maybe i would try to use rubbing compound.

nah
sent for glass polishing or if u have the time and elbow power, polish it
gonna be hard

this occur cause everytime u use your wiper, ur glass is too dirty (sorry to say) and too little water was present this resulting in fine scratches on your windscreen

I had the same problem a few years ago when applied onto the wind screen of my brand new Toyota ! I'll never use rain repellent such as rain x or similar anymore.

I have been using Rain-X for few years and have no issues with it, it really depends on how you use it. Here is what I usually do:

  1. Wash and clean the windscreen surface to avoid dust and dirt
  2. Wipe the surface with a dry cloth to make sure it is dry
  3. Apply rubbing compound to the windscreen
  4. Use a clean cloth to wipe the surface after applying rubbing compound
  5. Apply Rain-X to the surface accordingly
  6. Use a clean cloth to wipe the surface dry after applying Rain-X. Job done, no issues.
