This last weekend I purchased some Rain-X windshield washer fluid at Walmart. It is supposed to leave some of the shedding rain-X qualities on the windshield every time you use it. It also contains ancohol which is a low residue organic solvent. So.... I added about a cup full to a five gallon bucket of wash water and washed my DeLorean with it. Result: Seemed to do a mild but good job of removing old gunk from the surface as the sponge I was using became dirty with use on the stainless. I dried it with a chamoise and the car looked great. Will have to see if it remains cleaner longer. I did not do any real tests by deliberatly trying to leave fingerprints but I suspect stainless will be stainless (And fingerprints will be the bain of us all) and the lingering benefits will be more subtle. Still I think this might be a great development. It might get the microgrooves cleaner and keep them cleaner.Has anyone ever experimented with using different chemicals to protect the steel from fingerprints? Here are a fre thoughts I have.
(1) RAIN-X: If you are familiar with RAIN-X, that make glass water repellent, I wonder how this would work on steel and repel the water dots.
