Wiper Blade -What Brand to Use?

[04MRADR]

I've been using BOSCH replacement blades since I got the Marauder 4 years ago and they hold up for a few months and then start skipping. Very loud and annoying once they start to wear a bit. I saw Rain X is touting its blades as the ultimate wiper blade. Has anyone ever used them and if so would you recommend? Also, what do the members recommend for blades if not Rain X??

I've had good luck with Bosch replacements on mine, interesting to hear the problems you've had with them.

Do you wipe off the blade edges regularly to remove any build up? I do this every time I wash the car and it's amazing how much black junk will build up on them.

Stay away from Anco they are CRAP

I ran a set of wiper blades for almost two years a long time ago when I was poor as could be,about once a month or so I cleaned them with an old clean t shirt soaked in rubbing alcohol until I didn't get much more black color on the t shirt and they work pretty darn good all that time.Even cleaning them with a clean rag and water helps though,try it on a set of blades that streak and see for yourself.

Bought a box of Alcohol Prep Pads at the pharmacy and use them to clean of the blades. Helps them last and they work better when cleaned off

I really like the Rain-X latest offering. Use their windshield treatment and you almost do not have to use the wipers at all. Dennis

+1 on the Rain-X treatment, Dennis.

03mmmonroe did the windshield treatment on the Bluemobile when we were out in Louisville this spring and I noticed a BIG difference in the next rain storm.

I've have some good luck so far using the Trico Neoform blades. They're about $23 each at Napa. Also been using the Rain-X bug removing washer fluid with decent results, although it does leave spots on the paint when it dries.

Yep. I wipe off the blades and wash them with Mothers Car Wash each time I wash the car but still get the problem. I like another member's response about wiping with rubbing alcohol. Think I'll try that idea.

Ive had very good luck with the Michelin blades and they are an exact copy of the original low profile blades.

I bought some of the PIAA silicone blades...they worked really well...til my source for them dried up.
