Wiper blades OEM Mazda or Goodyear
Use iso alcohol on a microfiber towel, wipe the windscreen/back window and the wiper blades with it, then take off the excess and dry with another one.
Then use a glass cleaner+fresh microfiber to clean the windscreen, and wipe the wiper blades(all 3).
Pros: clean windscreen, clean blades

I have started buying my wipers from the dealership. Fist they are actually cheaper then most of the brands at the corner car store. Secondly, they work great. My Mazda6 blades are simply the best.
Pros: cheaper, work great, best performance
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
the value blade are pretty good blades for the price. I replace mine 2x a year. Thats not bad for $15 blades.
Pros: good for price, reasonable lifespan

I just get the Goodyear replacements at Costco as needed without any issues or modification.
Pros: no issues, no modification
Beam blades are quite good, the Goodyear/similar don't chatter, but they have a rather annoying *THWUP* as the upstroke changes to downstroke for the nanosecond they're vertical...
Pros: don't chatter
Cons: annoying THWUP sound

Coscto sells some Goodyear wipers that do fit. They come with several different fittings for different wiper arms designs. The trouble is the fitting that works with the R32's aero wipers is about half an inch taller than OEM and they look like poo. On the plus side they're only $8 per blade.
Pros: cheap, different fittings included
Cons: taller than OEM, bad look

I've never owned a vehicle that didn't eventually come across a rain storm that required a pull over because the wipers cant keep up at some point you do just have to pull over and wait it out. Had one so bad in my Cx30 where visibility was so low it disabled all safety sensors and spit up a message on the dash to be careful since they were inactive.
Cons: wipers can't keep up, low visibility
Vehicle:
Mazda
driving on the highway on my CX-30 during a very sudden and heavy storm at night was a pretty scary experience for me. The whole time I was wondering - is everyone else seeing that little?
Cons: scary experience, poor visibility
Vehicle:
Mazda
I just bought my 2024 and experienced my first heavy rain. It was difficult. I also noticed the wiper high speed wasn't nearly as fast as my previous cars. We get semi- frequent heavy rainstorms here, so it does bother me.
Cons: wiper speed not fast enough, difficult in rain
Vehicle:
Mazda
I bought a 2024 CX-30 in April and just got caught in my first heavy rainstorm. I can't believe how slow the wiper speed is at its highest setting compared to all my prior vehicles. I was able to find this is an issue for others elsewhere online but nothing about it here, and no real solutions but it's terrifying to me. I had to pull over at a gas station.
Cons: slow wiper speed, terrifying experience
