Anyone ever tried RainX on kit canopies?

Question

Heya folks!I'm also a parts salesman and auto-mechanic when I'mnot teaching or working at the TV station (all of that istrue!) and was just putting RainX on my wife's car's wind-shield and side windows today.  I noticed how clear itbecame and how it filled in the microscopic divots.Which made me think...  *the Draken ponders*Has anyone tried RainX on their model clear parts yet?It's basically a clear wax, it's very thin, dries VERYquickly, and can be buffed easily with little effort to abeautiful shine.Lemme know dudes...  :)-andy

Dunno about prices stateside, but in Europe RainX is much more expensive then Future. Future is in widespread use among modellers, and also does a wonderfull job in filling in minor scratches etc. and making the transparencies more clear.

Considering satisfaction and price, I'm not about to change products. Perhaps other modellers have other ideas?

It never occurred to me; I'll try that when I get back from Anaheim.

(FYI, I think Rainx is more expensive here in the 'states than Future, but I have a big supply. If it works better... )

Thanks Andy.

Rain-X is not a wax. It contains alcohol and antifreeze components, among other chemicals (smell it). Try it on a scrap canopy before one that you need.
