    The EWK unit I bought is much better. Better design and user interface. Easier to use and dispose of the oil.
    This one?

    ECS Tuning offers a 6.5 liter Schwaben unit for a bit more than the EWK. Looks like Griot's rebrands it for an add'l $20:

    FWIW I followed amazon reviews of the EWK unit to West Marine, which apparently sells the same device but sells parts for it after the sale, which can be helpful as things wear/break (which they apparently do):

    I think I got the schwaban one too... It's the exact same unit I've seen on several sites but they had the cheapest price at the time. I use it on our boat....

    Does anyone know why this happens??
    It happened on my E30 as well so it's not limited to just my ZHP...

    Soaking wet (at the car wash) yet there's this unexplicable clear patch...

    Isn’t it rubber residue left behind from the wipers? I think that’s what I read/heard somewhere. Idk, I haven’t used my wipers since I discovered RainX like 12 years ago.

    Is this a statement or a question? If it's indeed rubber residue, perhaps I need to scrub-a-dub-dub my windshield with some rubbing alcohol or something...

    Great for highway, but not so much for around-town.

    I relate it to when I still had glasses; the smallest particles of dirt on the lenses would drive me nuts! Around town isn't going fast enough to make those water beads slide down fast enough.

    I got a surprising amount of life out of using a synthetic sealant like my Menzerna PowerLock on my windshield back when the car was actually detailed. It behaved just like RainX on the highway, but around town, it would stand up to the abuse of the wipers being on. It lasted months this way.

    You can use a mild clay bar (along with soapy water or detailer spray) or 0000 steel or brass wool on your glass to remove contaminants.

    It was a question and a statement. What I meant was “I think that’s caused by rubber residue.” Sealants/RainX work well for me “around town” because I’m in the suburbs. I can easily achieve speeds capable of getting the beads moving. As John suggested, start with a clay, and proceed with something more aggressive as needed.

    This. I’ve never been brave enough to use quad-aught steel wool, but I clay the glass twice a year.
