  By far Rain-X is the best one. It costs around $14 or so. Apply after u wash the car. They have one for the inside of the glass too, to prevent fogging and such.

  The most is like let the water slide without trace on your wind screen...

  don't use it if ur car has a rain sensor or some form of rain automation.
  
  the wiper will be scratching the windscreen as there wont be enough water even though it looks like a lot of water..
  
  rain x repels the water but leaves the glass with no water left to allow the wiper rubber to glide across

  You gonna hate rainX on the windscreen after a while

  Yep, pls don't use raindex on the windscreen. While raindex is a very good product, u will still need to activate your wipers. But if you have raindex on your windscreen, your wipers cannot work properly and then u will have the juddering and screening effect.
  
  N raindex is so good that its effect will be there for a long long time, so u will have to live with the wiper problems.

  i used a water repell spray for my windscreen. and now the rubbin of the window wiper is terrible. how do i wash away the repell or "rescue" it?

  Yep, that's a common problem bro. It depends on what brand of product u used. If it's raindex, then the problem will remain for a while, as raindex is quite a lasting product. If it's other brands, then just refrain from using it from a while, n hopeful it'll wear off after a while.
  
  Another solution is to use a bit of soap in the washer reservoir tank, but don't use any soap, as it might damage the wipers or your paint. Best is get those solution that is approved for use on cars.
