  Which product is better for keeping the windscreen clear - Clearalex or Rain-x? I have never tried Clearalex and in another thread BRers are sounding off about Rain-x, a rough guess gives about 10-1 against the use of Rain-x. Should I try Clearalex - who sells it?

  Surely, it must have more reverse lighting than the tiny one low down on the bumper. If there should be one either side of the rear windscreen then please can someone point me to a good video to change them as they are not working. Thanks.
