I tried OEM blades 3 times from two different dealers. Every single time the blade lasted about 3 months before streaking. Switched to Bosch Icon blades and so far they've doubled that lifespan.
Our National Parts store, Canadian Tire, has their own brand of wipers and I currently use their "Reflex ice" Teflon coated wipers. I use the Bosch Icons during the summer.
Bosch Icons, clean sweep every time.
I live in New England and use Rain-X Weatherbeater blades(16",13",13"). This current set has been on for over a year and still going strong.
Genuine wipers only (last for years) as aftermarket ones like Bosch don't have enough tension and need replacing quickly.
Clean first with window cleaner. Then use clay bar with quick detail spray. Clean again with window cleaner, followed up by isopropyl alcohol on a microfiber towel, and new set of wiper blades. Just did this a few days ago and all streaking went away. Crystal clear windshield.
Bosch Icons are second to none.
The only thing I've changed on them are upgrading the wipers to Bosch ones.
OEM are Bosch but not pleased with them, after 1 year are not good.
I have Bosch on mine and they suck after less than a year.
