Anyone use RainX washer fluid?
Walmart (at least the one on Rt. 1 in Princeton/Lawrenceville) has it on sale for only $.50 a gallon.
Tim and I were there last night, and we got 16 gallons to split. Total cost was $8.56

I've never used the treatment, just been using the washer fluid for years. It's not quite as good in the Jeep as it was on the Lumina, but the Jeep is way more brick-like, so it's understandable.

Huh. I hate using that stuff. It just makes a haze on my windshield... no other fluid does it. Must just by my car. $0.50 is a steal and a half for it though. I remember the Rain X fluid being pretty pricey as far as washer fluid goes.

Yea, I used to buy four at a time when Walmart would sell it 2 for $3.00. Now I won't have to worry about it for a while

I buy my dog food there! My wife buys those spoiled brats the Beneful prepackaged meals that you have to heat up in the microwave. If your car is the one in your sig, I remember seeing it there the last time I went.

I would Kasey, but I don't really have any place to put it. Storage space in the apartment is lacking. I have 10 bottles of my own that I am storing in the spare bedroom.

No idea.....I didn't bother driving around to other walmarts, to see. I was just throwing this out there to let others know that they have a chance to get some uber-cheap washer fluid.

Hate it, stupid crap that leaves a haze after a while and even when you run outta it, the wax stays on your wipers so you still get a haze. used it once, never again, and I think rain x is pointless period, use your damn wipers, it only works around 35-40+mph, so if your in the city, its not gonna do you any good.

the stuff in the small bottle works good if you apply it correctly otherwise you get that stupid haze, i was thinkin about trying the washer fluid but never got around to it. i bought rainX wiper blades and let me tell you they are the worst blades ever!
