Thought I was buying a GREAT car.My windshield wipers needed to be replaced so I bought what I thought was the best for my car which was a pair of Bosch wiper blades. Had the blades put on by Auto Zone..While I was at Auto Zone I purchased some RAIN X. Came home and applied the RAIN X to the windshield.
I leave my house at 5 o'clock every morning and it's very dark out and heavy traffic on the highway. As I was driving it was raining out, turned my wipers on and the VISIBLITY was VERY bad. It was a bad experience driving next to tractor trailers not seeing where I was going. When the wipers were turned on, it was let's say, smearing the windshield. So I go back to Auto Zone and show them what it was doing by turning my wiper blades on using my windshield washer fluid.He saw what it was doing and replaced my $50 blades with a new pair. DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING.
So I contacted Rain X telling them I wanted to remove their product from my windshield, their reply was to use soft scrub 1st, than apply a product they sell called extreme clean. Did that, still had 'smearing' from the wiper blades.So I go to the Honda dealership tell them what was going on with my windshield'.They told me that there was probably still a little of the RAIN X on the windshield to take a #0000 steel wool pad to the windshield . So I did, STILL DID'NT FIX ANYTHING. So I go back to the Honda dealership the next day and they said that I need the original blades made by Honda put back on saying to myself I already have $50 invested in the Bosch blades and the Honda blades are going to cost me $60. I really didn't have much choice but to buy them. Had Honda dealership put them on. GUESS WHAT, STILL DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING.
So now I go to Giant Glass Company which is a company that installs windshields. He told me to use a polish on my windshield. It's not a rubbing compound, kust a polish. AGAIN, DIDN'T FIX THE SMEARING ON THE WINDSHIELD. So I made a appointment with the manager at the Honda dealership. He looked at it. Didn't know how to fix the smearing. Drove a car off the lot pulled it beside my vehicle turned on the wipers and GUESS WHAT? It was smearing too. So now I have a car that has POOR VISIBILITY when it's raining out.What's going to happen in the winter?
Anybody have any help with this problem? Thanks for hearing my problem.
