I've had problems with with smearing when i have used rain-X on front windscreen and rear window with wiper , seems to work well on side windows and headlights to keep them clean.
Best thing about putting it on side windows is that in winter the frost and ice literally fall off and saves a lot of scraping and de-icer spray (like a teflon coating on the windows). I had particular trouble with a well known brand of screenwash with added rain-X, it was awful and smeary and I ended up pumping it out of washer bottle as quick as I could. Works OK on my motorbike helmet visors, and means kamakasi insects are easy to get off, never really ride in the rain if I can help it, but have been caught on a couple of occasions and it worked.
I would avoid it on screens with wipers as it seems the combination of screewash chemicals and moving wiper blades cause the rain-X to fail very quickly and leave some kind of smeary residue behind.
