Rain-X works by filling in the microscopic pores in glass, which creates a smoother surface that makes it much more difficult for water particles to stick to the glass. When it is buffed into the surface, it is completely smooth and the Rain-X does not run. I doubt any would get into the eyes.

By the way, I love Rain-X on my car windows! You don’t even have to use your wipers while driving when it’s raining. (though I usually do anyway, just in case).

Tim, that’s just disgusting

Baz, I had thought about the RainX close to my eyes issue, but it’s a dried chemical, and it shouldn’t float into my eyes when the goggles are on. If it does, then that means the goggles aren’t working to keep the water out of my eyes.

clever dude, i recommend watching revenge of the nerds again and adopting buggar’s technique of phlegm accumulation. the stickier and globular the better.

Any idea what Rain-X that close to your eyes is gonna do? I don’t know, honestly, I’m asking.

Tim, believe me, I’ve tried the spitting thing. Nothing worked (soap, scrubbing). The Rain-X just worked wonders.

there is also a far cheaper alternative and better environmental alternative–that is, spit in the goggles and wipe it around and voila, clear, non-fogging goggles. now people also use a raw potato.
