Rain X

I used Rain X for the first time on my TV. I used it as per the insructions with a dry towel let it dry and did it again. It left my windshield looking terrible it looks like something oily has been smeared all over the glass and has a haze. The more I try to buff the glass the worse it gets. Is this normal? Also how long is this stuff suppose to last?
Thanks

    It's really good stuff.

    apply to clean glass with dry cloth or paper towel
    let dry to haze
    use new clean cloth wet (with water) to buff it out
    follow with a clean dry towel or cloth to polish

    I've even put it on dirty glass and never had such an issue.....

    How long it lasts varies, but I'd say on average I still see affects of it, although diminished a couple months out.

    I like Rain-x
    and I suggest the rainx windshield washer fluid too
    but I don't care for the stuff made for the inside of the glass to make it fog free.....


    That was it.
    I was using a micro fiber cloth. My son told me to use a clean T shirt rag slightly damp. It did the trick.
