im also considering some sort of anti rain stuff on my windscreen (and in my wiper bottle)


Tell me more - I thought rainex (and its equivalants) was a silicon type polymer that needed to be allowed to dry and polished into the glass to work.

Mine is a serious question if you know something that I dont.

I've used Rain-X on all my cars, from Mini to MINI to 3-series BMW.. and it works best on the BMW, because of the screen rake. On a bluff screen, you need higher speeds to blow the rainwater off. On a Mini, I'm not sure I'd bother, unless your wipers are plain diabolical.
