I have it and it works great. We sell it alacart and include it on our top package. Sales of the top package have increased by 40% since adding it. It is bit expensive but have found the Rain X nave does a lot to help sell the prodcuct.

I don't have a client who doesn't sell it or a similar product.

After you see what it can do for average ticket, you wont' care what it costs.

We only spray rain-x on the front portion of the vehicle with it turning off just past the drivers window on most cars. It is a hugely popular option with almost everybody. We sell our top wash which includes rain-x on days when it is raining, easily. Rain-x is inexpensive at around 4-6 cents a car, but is a $3 upgrade. Do the math.

Well Chris the Legend, I gotta ask, why not spend an additional nickel and do the entire car? This product benefits the painted surfaces too.

Years Ago I turned down Rain X as an addittional service. But, when I added tire Shine I added this as well few A la carte sales, but it allowed me to offer a higher tier package of $4.00 more. So, even if the Rain X and Tire shine cost 50 cents per car, the return was good.

FWIW I did not get the entire Rain X Setup. With An EE I felt their arch was a waste as far as customer impact. Was able to mount their sticks on an existing arch and use what I felt was a (TSS) electric flashing sign at the Driver side with what I felt was more impact.

Greg, I guess it sounds better to have a 6000% profit margin than a 3000% one.

Hey, I'm thinking if 3000% percent profit isn't enough just turn the function off,then the profit percentage is INFINITY- Muhahahaha!!! (that's my evil profiteering carwasher laugh)
