Rain-X is a special anti-rain agent that repels water, rain and snow from the glazing of the doors and windows of the car, including the windshield. Over time, the effectiveness of Rain-X diminishes and drips and smudges remain on the glass. Rain-X can be removed at any time with a vinegar / water solution or any cleaning agent.

2. 2 Pour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle. This mixture can be used to remove Rain-X from glass surfaces, as vinegar is a natural cleaning agent that will work with most commercial glass cleaners, including Rain-X.
3. 3 Spray a mixture of water and vinegar all over the glass.
4. 4 Using a rag, spread the vinegar solution over the glass, paying special attention to the areas where the anti-rain coating has lost its properties. If necessary, clean the entire glass surface with a rag.
5. 5 Dry the glass surface with another soft, dry cloth to wipe off the water / vinegar mixture and any Rain-X residue.
