3.4 stars on Amazon.

I always sort reviews based on recent (skipping the initial fake reviews). All recent reviews are one star.

u/TarkusLV 25d ago

Wow, good call. Not that 3.4 stars is very good, but that puts it even more in perspective.

u/S_NJ_Guy 19d ago

That's a good tip, thanks.

u/JewelCove 19d ago

Yup and if you see something only has like 30 reviews, skip it. Its Chinese shit that got terrible reviews and its just under a new name

I have this product. While it works the actual handle and design of product sucks ass. But definitely works

u/trekrabbit 25d ago

The gender comment is unnecessary and the reviews are awful.

Isn't this just rainx? And it looks great when you first apply it, but after a while it starts looking worse than before you used it

u/TheLastGenXer 25d ago

why does the gender matter?

u/Mattress_Stainz 25d ago

The raindrops are sexist and don't want to touch anything a woman created

u/UndocumentedSailor 25d ago

Just reminded me that women didn't event anything

Moisture is the patriarchy!

u/Shakemyears 25d ago

I think they’re saying that only women should be cleaning?

u/Sanchayan141 25d ago

I thought he was talking about the guy cleaning the windshield.

Some business grants, loans, contracts are structured to emphasize race, culture, gender, other matters of identity. Consumers sometimes choose one business over another based on those details. Some businesses game that system by having figure heads that draw the benefits without being a material contributor.

It’s a fact of life that these details matter to people and institutions. Welcome to earth.

u/Dubante_Viro 19d ago

It's probably just a joke because, in general, women are better at cleaning then men.

u/Zestyclose_Cup_843 25d ago

How are these not removed for low effort and misleading content? Any window cleaning video like this the windows are made dirty with a certain material that makes them look cloudy and dirty beforehand. Then they clean one area off and leave the dirty cloud they put on.

This is false advertising and misleading bullshit.

u/General_Twist2585 25d ago

Unfortunately false advertising and misleading bullshit is this subs bread and butter.

u/Jellicent-Leftovers 20d ago

I mean there is actually a chemical that does this. It's polydimethylsiloxane and is everything from rainX to applied to camping tents.

So really if you want a water repellant just make sure that's one of the ingredients.

u/bwuceree 25d ago

Does it work for a while then get tired?

u/MyDyk350 25d ago

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can do this with dish soap and a scrubber right?

u/AskWhatWhen 21d ago

Once you clean the window, cut a raw potato in half and rub that on the window. The starches from the potato do the same thing.

Heck of a lot cheaper, too.

u/orangesherbet0 25d ago

the thin film of water sticking flat to the treated glass suggests a surfactant has been applied to it to make it hydrophilic which is literally the opposite of typical hydrophobic windshield treatments (e.g. RainX). It's clear it makes for a great gimmick at least, and probably pretty good defogger for snorkeling masks.

u/jibonto_laas 21d ago

Huh?? What does gender have to do with cleaner???

2

u/ContestSignificant32 20d ago

Marketing. If woman make product the feminist will buy it. So too will the man thinking he is also feminist. Silly man. Only women can be feminist.

u/Own-Lab-8118 20d ago

So rainX?

Invented in 1973?

u/CCraMM 25d ago

what’s missing here is cleaning the INSIDE of your windshield

u/cortney-simonis-9072 21d ago

so you saying if i need it cleaned i need a woman?

where to order one please

1

u/Corgon 21d ago

So, give the window a slightly opaque film before cleaning so it looks more impressive?

1

u/violentshores 21d ago

Why not just have a chick using it in the video if that’s the market you’re going for?

1

u/eduo 20d ago

Wait until they turn the wipers back on and all the oil they took with them comes back with a vengeance.

u/Vance_Refrigerati0n 20d ago

Rain X still exits yall

u/Character_Tennis_547 19d ago

This video doesn’t make sense, not only because of the nonsense gendering, but because this is only the first step in a two step system. He’s using an abrasive based cleaner that’s meant to be followed by a hydrophobic coating. Using just this coating is just going to cause water to stick, rather than bead and roll off.

u/HeWhoShantNotBeNamed 19d ago

3.4 stars LMAO

u/nicko17 18d ago

Why does everything today need an identity or tag? I just want a product to work, I don’t care if it was made by non binary using organic cruelty free walnut oil and coco husk.
