Can using a windshield rain repellent help prevent streaking?

Yes! Rain repellents like Rain-X o r ceramic coatings create a hyhobic layer, causing water to bead up and roll off, improving visibility and reducing streaking.

Yes! Rain repellents such as Rain-X o r ceramic coatings create a hyhobic water-repellent layer on the windshield. This helps water bead up and roll off the glass, improving visibility in the rain and reducing streaks. It also reduces the frequency of windshield wiper use in heavy rain, which can prolong wiper life.
