Keeping your windshield clean really does make a huge difference.

I clean mine with soapy water and a razor blade then I rain x or aquapel it.

Especially under/below where your wiper blades rest most importantly!

I use to love aquapel, it was awesome and was so much better than rainx, havent used it in about esh 8 years now maybe longer.

Think I should clean it with dish soap to strip it and then do a couple coats of rainx?

I'm starting to hate wipers. For Bosch I see 3 of basically the same thing. Trick has like 5 beam blades all basically the same and I can't see the difference between them.

Idk what to pick.

For far its rainx, trico neoforms or onyx, or Bosch icons. I still wanna try the piaa silicone ones but need some reviews first and which ones to go with.

Thanks guys for the help so far.

I think I paid $30 a piece for my icons.

I would clean the windshield with soapy water and a razor blde then rain x it agian.

If I remember right with the Piaa blades you have to spray a thin coat of silicone on the winshield for them to work properly.

The main difference is going to be the materials they are made from.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Found them on amazon for $17-22. I'll probably go with the force since that's what's available. And they are the same thing just the public version. As for the windshield. I'll clean it and reapply rainx two times so its got a good coat. Needs a new coat of wax anyways so I'll just do the whole car with dish soap. These current ones I'll just return. Idk if I have the receipt or not tho. Oh well. Well thanks guys. Maybe if I find more info on the piaa ones I'll try them in the future.
