RainX and good wipers. If you haven't replaced the factory wipers yet, it's time. There are several good ones recommended elsewhere on the forum and choice is personal preference from there.

i have heard that as well many many years ago. coke, not pepsi, will remove the water droplet marks on your windscreen outside of the area your wipers travel. also heard you can put raw mean in coke and it will look like it's cooking the meat. never tried either but i do remember the stories.

There are many myths and truths out there about coke, such as the dissolving raw meat, cleaning blood stains off highways, cleaning corrosion from bettery terminals, etc.

Some true, some false, you must try them out to know for sure (or if you are lazy, just google that $hit LOL).

While we are on the COKE topic. Try dropping 3 or 4 mintos candy in (diet) coke while leaving off the cap. Do this outside. Danger! Danger!>>Put on leather gloves to keep dry ice from freeze burning your hands.Try dropping 6 to 7 pellets of dry ice into a small (empty) plastic coke bottle then screw down the cap tight. After screwing down the cap,Get Out Of Harms Way!! After about 30 minutes (Varies with outside temperatures)the explosion will be so powerful it can rip off your fingers from your hand!!! If there's any drink left in the plastic coke,pepsi bottle,It may explode before you can get it out of your hands!!! Squirrel Crusher

It only works with diet coke. You will be OK. Worst painful indigestion you've ever had and throwing up foam. NOT RECOMMENDED>>>When your out deep sea fishing,and the humane socity isn't watching...Toss some alkerselsa tablets up for the sea gulls to catch. ((I wasn't the one doing this!!!)) The bird will crash into the water and die!<<<NOT RECOMMENDED... DAMN..How do you spell Alkerselsa indigestion tablets? Squirrel Crusher
