Interesting thread, I have been meaning to post about this myself. For the last month I have been using spray detailer (Mother's Showtime) on the windshield and side glass, and I am very happy with how rain flies off, but especially with how bugs don't stick as well.

I find using detailer on glass kinda counter-intuitive, and was sure that I would be looking through a haze, but if you buff it off well, there is no haze at all. I think it is a LOT easier to apply than Rain-X.

As far as wiper blades go, I replace them with the OEM every two summers, and for the first summer they are marvelous, the second summer merely very, very good. I live in a pretty congested area, and never get to drive faster than about 90mph.

What I'd really like to have is a suggestion for what to use to make droplets fly off my 2001's rear plastic window. The rear window must be in the "shadow" of the wind, and I swear that I can start a half-hour highway drive with a wet window and the same droplets are still there at the end of the drive!
