Snow, Sleet, Flying Mud? Dumbest idea ever. "Don't worry, we'll be able to see once I get up to about 60."

It's a cool idea to use in conjunction with wipers. I can't see myself buying a car sans wipers though. Hell I hated not having a rear wiper.

Race cars would probably want this though. Less weight, better aerodynamics w/o wipers.

I dunno, try applying rain-x to your side windows. It does work, very well, but i think the windshield wipers get in the way.
I've been debating throwing some rain-x on my windshield, taking the wipers off, and installing some turbulators to break up the boundary layer - just to see what happens. My bet is that it works. |

Rain-x only works well on the front windshield when you're going 60mph or faster. Anytime you use your wipers, it just slowly scrapes off the Rain-x.
I bet this windshield is probably a slightly better version of Rain-x on a regular windshield. At slow speeds, you'll still need wipers. |

NEXT UP , mirror like Reflecting hoods that focus the moon light to act as headlights.
