Yeah I use it on front and back and it certainly works a treat!

Ì bought Rain-X at Halfords in Holland. I was afraid to use it because it says that you can only use your wipers with fluid, or else you'll get stripes on your window.

When I read all this, maybe it's a good idea to apply it :-)

Is costco available to anyone? or do you have to be a 'trade' type person?

Can you buy online? Can't see a website apart from the US one

you need to pass certain trade requirements although they also offer individual member ship to most other ppl.

trade costs £20 p.a., individual is a little more i think.

as niknik says, a trade member can add you on if you know any (allowed up to 6 i think). the only problem is that the membership date is the same as the member adding you so if their membership is 6 months gone then so will yours be.

So has anybody tried it on the auto-wiper screens? I've just got around to sticking it on my rear window coz I'm getting p'd off with not being able to see out of it when it's been raining.

I found it didn't really work on the back windscreen - did exactly what the directions said, but the rain still stays on the glass!

i have found it never works as well as it makes out.

first time it was pretty good, the rain ran off (eventually) and lasted a little while.

next two times like yourself it hardly lasted any time so i haven't bothered with it for a while.
