I applied Rain-X two weeks ago on my car windows, It rained a bit during the last two weeks, but not while I was driving. Today however on the motorway it started raining heavy, I could see the wiper blades on the car behind me going very fast. My windshield was like the matrix, water was flying off. I didn't have to use my wipers at all.

I mean either way, if you could see properly or not, the cops 9 out of 10 times are almost always going to catch you. Getting away depends on how much distance you can make, how well you know the area (surroundings) like streets or alleyways or parking spots or how well you can hide in plain sight. Also, a-lot of luck is needed and motivation to actually get away some people just give up 5 minutes into the chase so you got to keep motivated to drive until your gas is used up or take another vehicle. Hey now, not condoning this but just my opinion!

You always pull up your wipers and get the full windshield when you clean it. No difference in spraying a towel or applying right on the windshield as all you are doing is spreading it around the same way. You are just wasting more spraying it on the towel as it goes flying off in the air. At least when you spray it onto the windshield the majority in going onto the windshield and not into the air.

The Rain X coating only works if you have a good-size rain. The tiny droplets, like a mist, won't run down, but a normal shower or heavy rain will. I use a clay bar before the alcohol cleaning. Dirt will ruin the wiper blades. Do this in the shade or the garage, and away from other cars, so you spray doesn't get on the paint. Rain X washer fluid isn't the same as the Rain X glass coating!
