Rain-X Tips and Information to Help You Outsmart the Elements

Rain-X® Original Glass Treatment, The Invisible Windshield Wiper, improves wet weather driving visibility by repelling rain and by helping to keep sleet and snow from sticking.

Over the past thirty years, the Rain-X® brand has evolved from a single product to ‘masterbrand’ status. Its strong brand equity provided a platform from which to successfully launch into multiple car care categories including wiper blades, windshield washer fluids, glass cleaners, car washes and waxes.

Rain-X was acquired by the Quaker State Company in November of 1997, and then in December of 1998 Quaker State merged with Pennzoil to form the Pennzoil-Quaker State Company. On October 1, 2002 the Pennzoil-Quaker State Company was acquired by Shell Oil Company. Today, Rain-X products are produced and marketed by SOPUS Products.
