Default What wiper blades?

What the preferred wiper blade of choice with ESC Hardcore at the moment?

I've heard silicone is the way forward...

sorry but i disagree with the PIAA hype....
was great for about 1 month, then the silicone cleaned off the screen and since i have to say has been no better than a good Bosch blade, but twice the price!!!!

I won't bother with PIAA again.....

I currently have Bosch blades on mine, and I've been very happy with them...

I have been using the ones I got from Phil for a couple of months now and I can't complain.

Especially as the amount of rain we have had lately they do a decent job.

Okay, lets light the touch paper.

I had a set, non branded, bought in a recent GB that was supposed to be for PIAA blades

Bottom line is theyre absolutely funking sh1te.

Theyre shorter than the oem blades so dont fit my screen properly. Also on the drivers side the bottom 4 or so inches of the blade barely makes contact with the screen on its return sweep.
The box says they can be bent to match the screen and ive tried.

Theyve been on for less than a week and will be hitting my dustbin soon!!

I wont bother with em again, everyone else. Just stick to the Bosch ones or PIAAs.

Also clay and RainX your screen for even better results.
