Default rain-x for softtop windows?

Now I have heard that using rain-x on plastic windows will cause them to turn yellowish. Does anyone know of any other chemicals that i could use to prevent water from building up on my back window during the rain? I thought about using WD40 but wasnt sure if that might cause glare from other cars

Helps keep it clean, clear in the rain, and even keeps as many bugs from sticking to it. I just never thought to put it on my windows till I saw this.

similar topic I posted a few weeks back. I am currently using Turtle Wax Ice Interior on m plastics and they do a good job getting the windows clear. Now if only there was something on the market to get those scuff marks out of those PITA rear windows!
