Rain-X Graphene Exterior Detail & CeramiX Exterior Detail

[CharBaby]

I'd like to try the Rain-X Graphene or the Cerami-X spray detailer. Both $5.99 at OLLIE'S.
Does anyone know if they're any better/equal to the TurtleWax ICE Seal & Shine?

The rain x is not even close to SnS. Less than 4 month longevity compared to 8+ months.
Never heard of the second one.

I would not trust it. Think of the investment of your time doing a job like this. You're looking for 4-6 months worth of protection... I would stick to top shelf name brands like Mcguires or at least Turtle Wax.

(Side drift, I check out Ollies a few times a year myself and have area rugs from them. What I understand is they buy in bulk stuff that did not retail well and wholesales are looking to dump. They is why you will see something like chocolate pineapple Pop-Tarts there but never just the straight strawberry.)

Thanks!
The Rain-X products at OLLIE'S that I mention, are roughly 1/2 price of the least expensive price that I've seen them selling for online.
I do still have 2 bottles of TWIS&S but I wanted something else to use on the cheap for touch-ups after washing and maybe some clay bar usage. I may even use the Rain-X products(Cerami-X detailer or Graphene detailer) as a WaUD or possibly to help keep my headlight assemblies from fading/clouding after weekly vehicle washing.

After washing my vehicles, even if I don't use a detail product on the whole vehicle, I often use these types of detail products on the front fascia, outside mirror caps etc..the high buffeting areas that take wind abuse at hiwy speeds.

At that price, probably worth it for the use you described.

I’ve already tried the Graphene and it feels real smoooooooth!

The Rain-X Cerami-X window cleaner & water bead product spray in the tan bottle is a TERRIBLE product - do not buy ! The application experience is aweful as you can not remove the stuff off of your windshield as the coating just smears around on glass . The water beading is poor and wiper blades will form distinct streaks and smear marks (even when applied thinly and allowed to cure properly) . The Rain-X Cerami-X product therefore is a no - go in my book and you would be wise to choose either the original Rain-X product glass treatment in the yellow bottle or try another brand of glass treatment for sure !
