Product Information

Available in a handy 500ml bottle as well as easy-to-use wipes, Rain-X® 2-in-1 Glass Cleaner + Rain Repellent is your ideal ally for safe driving, even in wet weather. Therefore, it’s imperative for drivers to improve their visibility on the roads - and there’s no better way of doing so than with Rain-X Rain Repellent.

Right off the bat, we'll tell you this: Using an ammonia-free glass cleaner is a must. Ammonia can break down window tint—especially the cheaper stuff—so if you're not a fan of the fishbowl look, stay away from ammonia. Most automotive glass cleaners are ammonia free and say so right on the bottle, but it's always a good idea to verify.

You should know that Weiman’s heavy-duty formula contains chemicals like polyethylene-polypropylene glycol and monosodium phosphate, so it’s not the best option if you prefer a natural product. With its chemical composition, it’s not surprising that this cleaner has a fairly strong smell. You may find it helpful to open a window or use your stovetop’s vent hood to eliminate fumes. And while this brand is significantly pricier than other options on our list, its triple cleaning action leaves cooktops spotless and sparkling clean.

Glass cleaners that contain dyes and synthetic chemicals tend to have a stronger and less pleasant scent. Products that derive their scent from natural ingredients, such as pine, eucalyptus, or peppermint are often more appealing. Of course, an unscented glass cleaner is the best solution for people sensitive to smells. Our top choice for tech screens, Whoosh! Screen Shine Pro, is the only odorless option on our list. You'll also see ceramic glass cleaners pop up when searching around. These leave a hydrophobic film on your windshield that allows water droplets to slide right off, even to the degree where you don't need to use your wipers. While that sounds great, we found that it takes a bit more effort to properly apply, and there's no sense in using it on your other windows. You can also use Rain-X on Shower Doors, or on any glass doors or windows in your home, for more amazing water-beading magic! While we recognize that Koala Eco is slightly more expensive compared to other brands, we think the pleasant smell is definitely worth the cost. The invigorating scent alone makes you want to clean almost everything! Plus, we can't deny we also love that the product comes from a family-run business.

Also, Hope’s requires fewer strokes to get the job done—just be sure to use a microfiber cloth. You can also use it on smartphones, tablets, televisions, and other electronics with a glass screen. Just be sure to spray it on a soft cloth rather than directly on your gadget. We noted that Hope’s glass cleaner is priced slightly higher than the competition, but we think the time and effort you'll save justifies the extra cost.Tested Ryan Gilmore: An absolute pain to apply, Gtechniq G1 requires a good half days’ worth of sunshine to properly cure on the car’s windscreen. With the British weather the way it is, the application was delayed on no less than two occasions owing to approaching rain. It’s best to have a garage or at least a gazebo if you’re planning to apply this. Use this product if you have a hard time seeing through rain and snow. But I recommend using a different product to clean your windshield before applying Rain X. Invisible comes in a 32 ounce spray bottle island and is reasonably priced. It goes on as a fine mist, so you don’t have to worry about it dripping onto your window sill or floor. Plus, it doesn't contain any soaps, scents, or dyes that leave streaky residue behind. Keep in mind that Invisible is formulated with synthetic chemicals, however, and some people find the smell to be a bit strong and off-putting. Known as a trusted brand, for good reason, Windex Glass Cleaner is a highly effective formula and comes with an affordable price tag. It can be used on a variety of household surfaces, including glass, windows, and mirrors. We love that it comes in an easy-to-use, 23-ounce spray bottle, which is made from 100 percent recycled plastic.
