11 best anti-rain remedies

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

One of the modern consumables for car operation is anti-rain. The main task of this drug is to improve road visibility in bad weather conditions. The principle of anti-rain is quite simple. It forms a transparent thin film on the surface of glass or mirror. Due to its ideal evenness and smoothness, the water rolls easily, in addition, the glass does not freeze and does not retain dirt. The use of anti-rain can reduce the load on the wipers and increase the life of the rubber bands. However, there are a lot of useless auto chemicals on the Russian market today. Therefore, before buying anti-rain, you should study the recommendations of experts.

Criteria for choosing anti-rain agents

1. The main selection criterion is the transparency of the formed film. It is possible to determine this parameter of anti-rain only in practice. Some low-quality formulations leave behind a cloudy film that impairs visibility in rain or at night. Sometimes the loss of transparency occurs after a few strokes of the wipers. Therefore, before buying, it is better to read user reviews and get acquainted with the research of independent experts.
2. Anti-rain is purchased to combat moisture, ice and dirt. Not all formulations are equally good at repelling water. You can judge the quality by the state of the glass in the rain. If you can drive without the included windshield wipers, then the anti-rain deserves praise. Some products show hydrophobic properties at low speeds (40-60 km / h), while other formulations help the driver only when driving fast (over 90 km / h).
3. You can evaluate the benefits when buying anti-rain, taking into account the durability of the film. The longer it remains effective, the better. So in pursuit of a low price, you should find out the strength of protection, and only then make the simplest calculations of the feasibility of a purchase.
4. Usability is also a major factor for many motorists. Some compositions are applied with a rag in several layers, after each of them drying is required, and at the final stage, polishing is required. Other auto chemicals are offered in the form of sprays or aerosol cans. This option is easier and faster to use. It is also important to consider the complexity of the preparatory work. Careful cleaning and degreasing of the surface is required before applying the individual compounds.
5. When handling glass, mirrors and headlights, anti-rain can get on the skin of the hands and on the paintwork. It is safer to work with auto chemistry, which will not bring health problems to a person and will not destroy the body coating.

We have selected 11 best anti-rain remedies for our review. All of them have passed severe tests in the Russian climate. When compiling the rating, the opinion of the expert community and reviews of domestic motorists were taken into account.

Rating: 4.9

However, in order to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to use special Glaco degreasers. Due to the additional expenses for the preparation of glasses, anti-rain receives only the silver in our rating.
