Hi,

Anyone got any tips on keeping the side windows free of fine mist now the mornings are getting colder? I leave for work quite early and cannot see out of the side windows due to fine water droplets. In my old car I could just wind the windows down to clear them but this does not work in the Lex as the seals do not make contact with the glass when winding. I dont really want to go around with a blade to clear them as im lazy

I used auto-glym aquawax all over the car on the weekend but this has not helped with this problem.

Any products out there for this?

Cheers
Hoops

Rain-X works if you apply it correctly i.e. to a very clean surface.

I don't really want to post the answer as im lazy

Thanks Tango, will have a look into it.

I've been meaning to do this myself, but as above rain-x or rain away should work fine - I use the same stuff on my shower screen and it works really well

this puts the halfords product top of the pile

Brilliant find Kit77. Just what im after by the sounds of it. Will pick up a bottle from halfords tomorrow and give it a go on my side windows.....will also try the shower screen

I would recommend Rain-X over the Halfords stuff personally. I have a bottle of both and the Halfords stuff is not as good. The review gave it top spot only due to the cheaper price and larger bottle. It wasn't as long lasting or durable I found so in the end having to apply it more often would counteract the cost side.

if its for side and rear use only then it should be durable enough to make it cost effective. if you want something for the windscreen then maybe rain-x is better

Glass sealant kit, excellent stuff, as with the rest of the products on this link.

How long does the bottle last? do you need to reapply as often as suggested (or more or less)?
