Since I seem to be either missing something or i cant find the product review section I will put this here. After trial and error with multiple types of blades i bought the Rain-X blades and WOW what a difference from everything else I have tried. Considering I travel alot of highway miles back and forth for work I catch alot of crap on the windshield not to mention the weather in Wisconsin has been consistantly crappy...these things strip the junk away from it like nothing, when spring hits we shall see how they fair against the 2 tons of bug ass I will pick up then.
never used the blades but the rain-x spray works pretty good.

I have a set of PIAA blades on mine. They are silicone and work very well.

I use the spray treatment as well but for those months that you just cant apply it especially since I dont have a garage makes your wipers your best friend at that point.

im with stupid! ^^^^^^^^^
I had those BOSCH micro edge super duper wipers and they kicked serious ass, until i tried to clean off my icy windshield. Ouch, killing 25 dollars worth of wiperblades in a single pass hurt. They kick ass for the summer though

I put rainx on my windshield and when it is barely raining or you are just catching the mist off the car in front of you and have to use the wipers, they suck. The wipers chatter and vibrate across the windshield. I've tried all kinds of wipers. I called the makers of rainx asking what will take it off and they said some soft scrub cleaner. That didn't work. I am thinking about throwing a bolt at my windshield so it will get crack in it and the ins. will pay for a new one.
Don't get me wrong I am not knocking rainx but for some reason rainx and wipers don't mix. I put a fresh coat on my corsica when I had it and drove from tampa, fl to messina, ny and it rained from georgia to maryland. I drove down the interstate at night when it was pouring without using the wipers. The stuff works great.
yeah the rain-x doesnt work that great when you just get a little mist but when its raining it works fine
