Do you use Rain-X windshield washer fluid?

[RMoore]

Curious about experience using it for the MME. I was using it for a while on my Audi but then noticed that it interfered with the sensor that indicates a low level of washer fluid. I remember the service person at the dealer telling me to avoid using it for that reason as well so I stopped. My washer fluid tank is still full from my recent purchase, but thinking ahead. I have Rain-X spray that I've applied which works well, but it's extra work compared to using just the Rain-X washer fluid.

I used a concentrated version that it had to be mixed with water for a short period of time. The fluid created film/precipitate in the reservoir so I stopped using it. The car was in the south at that time so it was not because of cold temperature.

I usually get the spray and manually put it on.... Especially if I'm going on a road trip...Wax on... Wax off

My understanding is the issues with Rain-X breaking the conduction sensors is largely a German makes + Chrysler thing. Ford should have no issue.

Yes it’s all I use.. you hardly need the wipers in light rain….

Add Subaru to that list haha. Our WRX washer fluid sensor took a shit within 1 week of filling with Rain X washer fluid.

I’ve used the rainx orange one in my Mazda, Hyundai, Toyota almost exclusively without any issues. I’ve never used it in the Audi or the 08 Stang GT.

I’ve been using the orange Rain-X fluid for ~32000 miles now on my MME with no issues.

I use the orange rain x “bug version”. Works great and no issues.

been using the rain-x orange in my past two Ford without issues. My MME is only 8 weeks old so it still has the factory fluid, at least till the weekend when I'll drain it and add some rainx

Funny you mentioned Rain-X washer fluid. When I took my car back to the dealership that was the first thing he asked me. It seems Rain X uses a wax that can coagulate in warm weather. Being in Florida it’s dame hot. So don’t use Rain X. But that wasn’t the problem. Disconnected hose from the tank. Why??? Who knows. 2 hours later it’s fixed and the HVB recall was downloaded . That only took 20 minutes!
Happy owner again; till next time!

I have used it in my Fords for years, starting with my 2003 F250. Zero issues, love it and will continue using it.
