Default I use RainX. Waxing sounds a bit bizarre to me. The trick to getting the grease off when using RainX

is spritzing it with a bit of water afterwards and using a microfiber cloth.

I'm not used to driving in the rain now without RainX-treated glass; the windshield seems so much less clear.

careful on the mirrors, I've heard RainX isn't good for plastic over time.
