Default Rain-X Washer Fluid

Read on another site that the Rain-X Washer fluid "the orange stains any black or real dark vehicles, also Rain-X wrecks wipers." Anyone heard that before? Rain-X seems to be the best choice, and heard really good reviews on the orange, can it really be harsh for black cars? I have a black monte and was planning on using Rain-X orange as my next purchase.... Most just buy whatever's available or cheap, but I don't mind spending little extra for the best stuff.. what do other's use?

I have been using rain -x on my black monte and my wife's white gp. It works terrific and no staining. It does leave spots on the wiper arms that when dry almost look oily. Maybe this is what you heard about. It does come right off when washed or in the rain and doesn't stain. It also smells pretty nice!

Personally, I wash the car enough that I don't need to spend any extra money on anything that is used just to wipe away some mud / dust in the morning.

I think I have the same gallon of windshield washing fluid from winter haha

I have no idea what brand of windshield washer fluid that is in my car. I have to use the washer fluid a lot because I have a problem with tree sap and I can't wash the car in the morning cause - 1) I don't have time and 2) the driveway gets the morning sun. I try and keep it covered, but if there is just the slightest chance of rain, I can't. (I'm talking about the 05 that lives outside during the non winter months). I wait till I get home from work to rinse the car off.

I've been using the Prestone summer formula (I use summer formula year round ) It works great, is pretty cheap ($1.99 a gallon at walmart) and it has a citris scent that comes through your vents when you use it...
