Do you mean RainX harms the wiper blades by causing them to wear out faster? I've used it a lot, and need to replace wiper blades twice a year. Never thought RainX was causing a problem though, just that I end up driving in rain a lot and along with high UV exposure those were the prime culprits. Actually, I thought RainX might be good for the wipers since I often don't need to use them at all with the windshield well coated. Water streaks off as fast and effectively as using the wipers. Added bonus is that bug splatter cleans off easier too.
