Beads of water roll off windshield...how?
I've had my 2001 ES300 just over a week. She is in pristine condition with only 16,000 miles on her. It was drizzling today and the raindrops were literally rolling off the windshield. Unless my car has super powers, I am thinking the previous owner or dealer I bought her from must have applied something on the windshield to repel rain. Anyone have any ideas what kind of product it might be? It worked great!

Wax works great until you run the wipers a few times. I thought it was cool when I would do that back in highschool before Rain-X was invented.

Thanks to everyone for your feedback. I will have to try wax, RainX and Aquapel over the next several months to see which works best.
