rain, snow, dirt on cameras & rear window

[Syndicate]

Yeah, I have the rear wiper running at all times, but it still isn't fast enough to deal with the accumulation of rain or slush.
Same as you all, I use my finger or napkin to wipe off the cameras all the time.
Mainly, I was wondering if there was a solution that didn't require cleaning them off so frequently. I'm a little surprised that the vehicle puts the spray onto the window, as opposed to leaving it behind.

If you have it running continuously, that is surprising. Is the wiper blade in good contion? If you have it running on intermittent mode, just shorten up the delay interval to make it continuous.

Mud flaps do help somewhat, but you are dealing with a low pressure area behind a large bluff object, you are always going to get the most dirt and spray there, and it will be worse the faster you go.

Anyone put Rain X on the camera? I just thought of that now and might try it out.

Good luck on that. You're also dealing with dirt and salt and not just rain.

No kidding. It's not a panacea, it goes along the same lines as waxing your wheels.

Dirt and salt may still stick but less of it will bond to the lens becuase of the coating.

A little sprayer would be nice, similar to the headlights.
