If you came to this post from a search engine then here is some more info:

 

There are complaints that Rain X will smear a windshield. This is true, and the same for your cameras. It is due to a lack of proper cleaning of the glass surface prior to the application of the Rain X. The other issue is the application of the Rain X. It has to be buffed all the way through. Think of auto paint, and Turtle Wax. If it is not buffed all the way through then it can have a "smear" look to it.

 

Motorcyclist use it on their helmets. There used to be a complaint that the shields would "yellow". That would be a valid complaint in the old days, but the modern poycarbonates are very stable.

 

This may be in issue with your camera lens, / housing, camera cover ect.

 

Clean your cameras before you apply the Rain X.

 

Apply it in a small out of the way area of your lens / lens cover, for a test.

 

When you appy it wait for it to haze then buff with a micro fiber towel.

 

Rain X is denatured alcohol, and silicone.

 

Rain Clear is Rain X. The name Rain X name was sold to the Shell Oil Company, but they did not sell the patent rights to it. They sell it under the Rain Clear Name. Rain X was invented by Howard Ohlhausen.

I recommend the Glass Scrub product for windshields also.

hey Scruit, or anyone else for that matter, what sort of system do yo have in your car?? can u give me part numbers etc.. looks good, i would like similar.

I had an idea to use the Mobotix Devkit for in car solution. It would be perfect no moving parts, trigger in/outs so you could have it setup to only record when the car is off and you could use the trigger output to a relay for the fuel pump so if some one stole your car you could call your car and turn of the fuel pump.

 

With a wireless cell card in the card you could have email alarms send to your phone. Also the Mobotix device is VOIP/SIP compliant so you could have our car call you on your cellphone and have a 2-way conversation with the a-hole and press #2 to shut the car off.
