Twenty years ago I was on a crewboat headed out to my anchored Chevron tanker in pretty rough weather. I noticed that every time the boat took green water the windshield cleared up right away. The water just ran off! The skipper of that crewboat told me that he used "RainX".
I've been using RainX as my windshield washer fluid for a long time now, myself. It saves on wiper wear because a lot of the time you don't even have to turn the wipers on. The rain beads up, aggregates with larger drops, and runs right off. Especially at speeds over about 40mph.
Nice safety solution, too. If your wiper blades fail then you will be able to at least see where you're going. But if your windshield is iced over I highly recommend that you clear it with either a scraper or the defroster before you move the wiper blades. Those long blade arms will put a big strain on the rest of the mechanism.
