Rain-X® Repel Wiper Blades Offer Drivers Safety and Increased Visibility to Help Combat Inclement Weather Conditions

HOUSTON, Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Rain-X® , the nation's leading wiper blade brand, is excited to introduce the all-new Rain-X ® Repel Wiper Blades, the only commercially-available wiper blades that apply Rain-X® water beading technology directly to the windshield, resulting in dramatically improved visibility when drivers need it the most.

Rain-X® Repel Wiper Blades help drivers outsmart inclement weather conditions by using revolutionary water-Repellent technology which causes water to bead-up and roll-away with the aerodynamic wind flow for increased visibility. This innovative design also helps prevent rain, ice and other driving hazards from sticking to the windshield.

"As the winter season approaches with its potentially hazardous weather, it's important for drivers to protect themselves while driving in these conditions," said Kristin Chiboroski, Brand Manager for Rain-X®. "It's important for aftermarket automotive companies like Rain-X® to offer consumers products which not only promote driving safety but are proven to last longer without the need for frequent replacement."  

Voted by Popular Mechanics Magazine Readers' Choice as the favorite Wiper Blade Brand, Rain-X® is pleased to offer Repel Wiper Blades whose high-performance design improves on conventional wiper blade construction by adhering to the unique curvature of the windshield for virtually no streaking and windshield chatter, ultimately resulting in higher levels of visibility.

Rain-X® Repel Wiper Blades joins a roster of leading automotive accessories offered by Rain-X®, a brand proud to offer drivers products to enhance driving performance and safety.
