Oh, and you don't need to do this on the reapplications, most of the time.
If you reapply before the RainX has worn off, thorough cleaning with your
favorite glass cleaner is enough. If you wait too long, you'll have
problems. All this reminds me it's overdue to do all my glass again. 109s
have so many windows...

Which side of the shop did you get it from? I'll leave it to Mr. Berg to
