And do both the exterior and interior sides of your windshield. Glass cleaners will increase your visibility, especially at night. While interior detailers have their obvious benefits, we sometimes feel glass cleaners are overlooked. The big selling point is the convenience of not having to switch bottles while working in your car, and the combo fluid provides equal shine quality as both a glass cleaner and interior detailer. We have grown accustomed to having a separate bottle of glass cleaner and a separate bottle of interior cleaner, but Rain-X goes for the two-in-one approach here. Glass Cleaner & Interior Detailer Our Take As of this writing, you can grab a four-pack on Amazon for about $28. But if you are pressed for time, Rain-X Fast Wax will do the trick.
If you are a purist, there is no substitute for a traditional and proper wax job. This way, you can combine drying and waxing in one step, and the water on your vehicle will make the liquid (ish) Fast Wax much more cooperative. Instead, try applying it to your car right after washing. The Rain-X Fast Wax is pretty goopy and can feel awkward to buff out on dry paint. While you can apply it to dry paint post-wash, you can also use Fast Wax while your car is still wet, which is the preferred method for us. The Rain-X Fast Wax gives you the benefits of a full-on wax job in a fraction of the time.

The Rain-X detailer looks like skim milk in the bottle, but it provides your paint with a much-needed dose of caffeine! Over the years, we have had excellent luck with Meguiar’s Quik Detailer, but the Rain-X also gave us that nice post-wash shine. They are also super convenient if you need a quick touch-up between washes. Exterior Detailer & Water Repellent Our TakeĮxterior detailers give you that extra “pop” after washing your vehicle. Here is our quick but detailed (see what we did there) review of everything Rain-X sent us.

We tested each on our 2022 Ford Escape after several days of rain across the Detroit metro in early May.
