I tried one of the advertised products you mentioned which claims to remove RainX but it did not own up to its claim. At that point, I asked Jonathan from delta Kits what he thought would be the best way to remove RainX and other products commonly used on a windshield. He suggested using the drystar to heat and liquify any product that is present and then using a fine grade steel wool. I followed his advise and the results have been consistently excellent. I don't want to impart any incorrect information so perhaps Jonathan can jump in here and suggest more specifics such as the amount of time to use the drystar and the recommended grade of steel wool.

Its just basicly a wax cook it off with the drystar or wipe it down with alcohol. If you are one of the folks who believe the little bit of alcohal is bad then try the fine steel wool or heat. Most carwashes now use a version of it in the final solution so its everywhere now not just the people who buy it and put it on.

Before doing a windshield repair you can save yourself a lot of time and a possible headache by applying a chip saver over the break, then spray the glass with water. If the water beads up and runs off quickly that indicates a hydrophobic coating is present. You can remove the coating by using the moisture evaporator or by using 0000 steel wool. Below is a video on using the moisture evaporator. ***Note the intense heat from the moisture evaporator will break down hydrophobic coatings and waxes.
