Patience man, I need about a week to dig through all the posts! The itch will get scratched, eventually.. maybe...
I got one of your thingymajoolee-whatevers at Moab, I applied it about a month ago. Didn't really see a big difference from Rain-x; tho' it looks to last a lot longer. I do notice that it doesn't take much to clean the bugs off - either with rain or wiper fluid.
As a test I put it on and wiped off one side of the screen soon, and gave the other side a minute to haze - then buffed and buffed. I don't see too much a difference in either side of the screen.
It's cool stuff.
Thanks again.
