Rain-X630023 Glass Shower Cleaner Water Repellent - Bathroom cleaner and window cleaner, bathroom cleaning supplies - Protects Glass Shower And Doors From Soap Residue And Hard Water, 16 Fl. Oz.

Recently moved into a new home with glass shower doors that were in great need of hard water mineral deposit and soap scum removal. Wow! This product is impressive. I first used the Rain-X Shower Door Extreme Clean, and was followed with the Rain-X Shower Door Water Repellant. The doors are crystal clear once again. This product works so well that the water just beads right off! I also squeegee after a shower to ensure clear glass doors.This product is very easy to use too. I used a clean cloth to apply the repellant, and worked in smaller sections while applying pressure and moving the towel in a circular motion, as directed. I then waited about five minutes for a light haze to appear, and applied a second coat, as directed. Once the haze appeared again, I buffed with another clean cloth. Beautiful! Although the product scent and fumes is not overly strong, definitely use with an open window or fan running. Overall, this product works extremely well. I am very satisfied with the results, and how easy it was to achieve beautiful results.

The media could not be loaded. Have you ever used RainX products on your car’s glass surfaces? Well, this stuff is basically that, but for your bathroom’s glass (and other) surfaces. (And if you haven’t tried RainX on your car… I highly recommend you do. I live in WA. We tend to get a LOT of rain. RainX is awesome stuff!)I hate having to squeegee my shower. It’s also usually the last thing on my mind. I’m either running late and don’t have time to squeegee… or I’ve taken a long time unwinding and relaxing in a hot shower. When I get out… I want to wrap up in a soft robe, climb into bed, and sip some hot tea. I don’t want to squeegee the shower stall. But an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! And when I don’t squeegee… a few months down the line and I’m scrubbing, trying to get rid of hard water stains. I’ve also found that even when I do squeegee regularly, I am still battling hard water stains. Meanwhile, the shower looks awful. We’ve been in this house for 7 years now. There are a lot of random niches for hard water stains to get missed over time. So, I started researching ways to be lazy and still have a clean bathroom. That’s when I stumbled on RainX for shower doors.Now, I won’t sugar coat it… it took me a while to apply the product per their directions, wait for it to dry, reapply it, let it dry again, and then buff it off the surface. (I’ve found if you apply it kind of liberally the first time… and give it sufficient time to dry… you won’t need to reapply it a second time - I’m lazy, y’all! I look for shortcuts!) I went all out! I put it every surface I could!The product does have a strong odor. I didn’t find it too overwhelming or too caustic. However, if you’re sensitive to odors or chemical smells… plan on using a mask. I kept the bathroom fans on and I was fine.It’s not difficult to remove, but it will take several passes. You just keep buffing in small circles… one area at a time… and then move on. It’s just like turtle waxing a car. Or The Karate Kid… wax on… wax off! And you can do more than just glass… I use it on my shower doors (inside and out) my shower surround, the bath tub, the sinks, the faucets (all the chrome), and especially the mirror.When you’re finished, you won’t have to squeegee… water just beads off surfaces. The tub is slow to develop a ring around it… and when it does… it very easily wipes off. The bathroom mirror will still fog up, but it’s MUCH quicker to clear up… and toothpaste splatter droplets just flake off when you barely touch them with a paper towel or microfiber cloth As evidenced in my video, if you end up with fingerprints or something else on your glass surfaces… just use a dry paper towel or microfiber cloth and polish whatever it is right off the surface! Using it on my shower surround and trim has prevented the accumulation of hard water stains. (See pic.)The best part? It lasts for 4-6 months with regular usage (two persons, occasional guests, and monthly doggo spa days). When I start to notice a decrease in how the water is beading up… I just reapply to that one area.Overall, the amount of time I spend applying the RainX is WAY LESS vs squeegeeing and having to do regular scrubbing to remove hard water stains, windexing the mirror, polishing chrome, etc. It makes my bathroom almost self-cleaning, which I absolutely LOVE! I do still break out my dish soap and vinegar filled dish soap scrubber and run it on the shower and tub floors, and in a few other areas. And to date, I haven’t discovered a self-cleaning toilet, so I still have to clean that… BUT… I won’t go back to the old method of scrubbing and squeegeeing!RainX is an all around great performing product!

STRONG smell but otherwise it works as advertised.

I've use this at all our shower glasses. I works well for a few weeks, limits the stain formation and easier to clean afterwards. Likely need to re-apply every few weeks. Glass is left shining and clean and again, protected for few weeks of daily use.

Pros: ?Cons: nasty fumes, vague instructions, makes it harder to squeegee, ruins acrylic, expensiveEver since we enclosed our shower with glass doors, I'd intended to try Rain-X. Now, after 15 or so years, I discovered Rain-X now markets a shower-door specific version, so I finally tried it. We're fortunate that our municipal water supply is very "soft." We don't really get any mineral build-up to speak of. After each shower, we squeegee the excess water off the doors, which minimizes the soapy film buildup until the next cleaning day. But Rain-X would make that even better, right?Well, I applied the product exactly as instructed. I first cleaned the doors with regular glass cleaner until they were crystal clear. I let them dry for at least an hour. Later, with the exhaust fan on and the window open, I was still nearly overcome by the fumes from the moment I sprayed the first bit onto my clean cloth. Through the entire process, I was coughing and gagging and my eyes were watering. If I ever do this again, I will wear a respirator. I had been warned about the fumes, but it was far worse than I'd anticipated.I applied the first coat, and waited for the hazy film to develop. The instructions don't give a sense of how long that will take--minutes? hours? days? I checked back several times but no haze seemed to develop. After a couple hours, upon very close scrutiny, I convinced myself the first door had the tiniest, slightest bit of haze. The second door still looked as clear as it had before I'd applied the Rain-X. I suffered through another respiratory fit to apply the second coat. After half of an hour or so, I could see a bit of haze on both doors. I buffed it off with a clean cloth and paper towels.We also had a small shower-safe mirror in our shower. It was supposed to be an anti-fog one, and, when it was new, this feature had worked, but the effect had worn off. I figured a fresh coat of a water repellent might help, so I applied it to the mirror as well. This was a mistake. The mirror is not glass, but acrylic, and the Rain-X seems to have etched rather than coated the surface of the mirror. I don't blank Rain-X for this because I was using the product outside the scope of its approved use. Just be aware that this stuff ruins acrylic.Things were definitely different during the next morning's shower. Instead of regular droplets of water collecting and the door and then running down in rivulets, a few tiny beads of water clung to the glass. But they were so small and so sparse, that they just stayed there. Had I not squeegeed, they would have quickly dried in place.But squeegeeing is now much more difficult. Before Rain-X, there was enough residual water on the door that the squeegee would glide efficiently down the glass, moving most of the water down toward the drain. With Rain-X, there are only a few tiny beads of water on the door, so the squeegee won't glide. Instead, it skips and stutters, leaving streak marks from the few beads it manages to collect.

Great product.

If yuh have glass shower doors, you need this! I hate scrubbing them, but if you put this on after cleaning, the water beads off for several showers. When I get to cleaning it again after about a week, it’s much easier! It has a strong smell though, so keep plenty of ventilation
