What windows do you apply Rain-X to?

I Rain-X'd all of my windows--front, back, and side. I'm definitely happy with the result. Even though the water doesn't stream off the other windows as much as it does on the windshield, it still beads instead of running down or condensing, or whatever. It definitely improves visibility, in my opinion, because the beading and wicking overall creates less water on the windows. So I definitely recommend it.

Also, just my advice, buy the cheapest Rain-X--the type that just comes in that little bottle that you drip onto a cloth. In my opinion, you'll use a lot less with that than you would with the spray bottles and other gimmicks. My small bottle of Rain-X only cost a couple bucks, and after doing all my windows I barely used any. Probably have several more applications worth of liquid in there. Well worth the money.

Edit: FYI, this is the one I'm talking about:

$1.63 on Amazon for 3.5oz. That's about what it cost me at AutoZone, too.

Seriously... stay away from it, use aquapel if anything.  I love it.

What's wrong with Rain-X? It's cheap and it works. Seriously, a small bottle for like $2 that's good for multiple applications, each lasting at least a few months before needing to re-apply. Hardly an investment. In response to the other post, wax is more expensive, and it seems like you'd use more in that application too, making it less cost effective. But maybe I'm wrong.
