Wiper blades Bosch or rainx
Bosch and Rain X have done well by me.
I switched to Bosch on all our vehicles, every month I will clean the blades with silicone and clay bar the windshield. The oldest pair is almost 4 years old and they still perform great.
Bosch icon are the best wiper blades on the market and it isn’t even close. They cost more because they are that much better
Bosch ICON. Kinda pricey but well worth it.
So into like the Bosch icons. Best I ever did out of a set was 110,000 miles in a western star in owned but I usually on both cars and big trucks replace them at least once a year. Every week on the truck I wipe the blades down with alcohol and probably every 2 weeks indonthe cars (23 Impreza and 22 outback limited XT) never have bad performance out of them.
Since buying my wife's 2004 Outback in 2012, I've always used Bosch Evolutions. Living in the PNW and the torrential downpours, one of the best blades I've used.
Just my opinion but as someone who has tried a number of wipers and fluid over the years, I feel the best stuff out there when it comes to fluid is the pre-mixed 20/10 brand green fluid and when it comes to wiper blades, Bosch Icon have proven to be the most reliable.
I use the BOSCH Icon, they're fine so I've never really used anyone else.
After cleaning my windshield (wet magic eraser + invisible glass) and replacing my old wipers, I noticed my new wipers are still streaking. The streaking got a little bit better between the old and new wipers, but it's still bad enough where it can be distracting in the rain. Coating the windshield with rainx afterwards didn't really make a difference for the wipers (made driving in the rain better though). I've recently noticed that the streaking only occurs in the return stroke. When I put my wipers in service mode (where it swings forward and stays), there's almost no streaking. There's also a "clean" wipe in the middle of the blade where the wiper is actually is doing its job, flanked by two wide bands of streaking. Mazda CX-30, rainx wipers if that makes a difference
I have used Bosch Icon on most of my vehicles but my last one they were no good.
