Washer Solvent "RainX"

Does anyone here use rainx washer solvent? It leaves a nice rainx layer on the windshield and the water runs right off on the express way! BUT all of the cars I used it in I didn't care to much about them as in I drive them till they die and buy another "work car". Do or would any of you use it in your BMW? have there been any adverse affects?

Thanks for any help

I used it once, and although it works, I wasn't impressed enough to put down the extra $$ for it.

It took mine some time to bed in? After that it worked better. Did you notice anything adverse happen to the paint?

I've been using it for years with no issues. I juice it up a bit too by adding some additional RainX to the gallon of washer fluid.
