   I would think it would work. Probably would wear off in a week or two, though.

   Rain-X is an oil-based substance. The surfectants in shampoo and soap will probably degrade the film of oil quickly.

   <<i have had good luck with regular automotive paste wax.>>We used that on the tile walls for the showers in the barracks and it worked well, likewise for a real light coating of mineral oil.No idea how it would work on glass.Seems like anything but the automotive wax could make for a slippery floor surface.Rain-X sure works well on my truck. Seems like it would be worth a try on shower glass.Edited 3/21/2009 7:38 pm by Catskinner

   Yeah, as I understand it Rain-X is a wax.

   Rain-X will probably work OK, altho as on auto windshields it may wash away periodically.Rain-X is (or was) made by Unelko corporation. They also have some products made specifically for glass as in shower enclosures. I discovered one of these products when I was in the decorative glass business. We used it to treat etched/sandblasted glass so that it would not get dirty. Dirt, oil, etc. is practically impossible to remove from etched glass surfaces. The active chemical ingredient in it is a polymer that seals microscopic pores.This stuff is amazing and really works: INVISIBLE SHIELD.http://www.sanishieldproducts.com/eliminate.html

   I've learned that squeegies in showers leave streaks.  Using the towel after you get done, seems to be the best and faster for me.

   I find the sprays work quite well. I use Arm&Hammer's shower spray.

   My mother uses it in her shower and swears by it.
