The Importance of Winter Wiper Blades and Glass Treatment
 

Snow, ice, freezing rain, and frigid temperatures make winter driving treacherous; nevertheless you're prepared, right? But what about your wiper blades?

If they're the same ones that baked on your windshield all summer then you could be in for problems. How do you know if your wiper blades are any good? At no time of the year is seeing out of your windshield more important, and more difficult, than in winter. Quality wiper blades should evenly and effectively squeegee water out of their path in both directions no matter what speed you're going. Soft rubber compounds necessary for wiper performance are always under attack by road grit, the sun, acid rain, tree sap, ice, and especially winter salt. Arm your car or truck with Rain-X Glass Treatment and Rain-X wipers.

Rain-X Latitude 8-In-1 Wiper Blades are the ultimate blades for sleet and snow. Unlike conventional wiper blade frames, the Latitude's beam design won't collect ice and snow, which can freeze conventional frames to the point where the blade no longer contacts the windshield. With Latitude blades you won't have to interrupt your trip to clear ice and snow from wiper blade frames, only to have them freeze again. You can check the presentation of this product here:

Also Rain-X develops a line of related glass care products. Because Rain-X Glass Treatment requires the glass surface to be perfectly clean, Rain-X X-treme Clean is the perfect glass cleaner. It removes dirt, grime, and bugs, plus build-up that other cleaners leave behind, from glass and clear plastic. Rain-X 2-In-1 Glass Cleaner not only cleans, it also applies a rain repellent to improve wet weather driving. Click here to see how exactly it works:

And are you ready for the winter?

While I've always used rain x and like it. Those blades didn't last more than a month before streaking. I do not over use them, and my windshield is always clean. I've gotten so much more life out of the Bosch blades.

Bosch for the win.

I bought a set of Motorcraft blades via Amazon and they work great.

YMMV

I seal my windows with Adams glass sealant. Works awesome

What is that and where do you buy it?

I'm assuming your referring to what I said.
You can buy it at Adams polishes .com
Get the whole kit. It seals and protects the glass. You can do the inside also. The water just beads right off!! It's like rain x only 10x better.

Speaking of wipers I was at Costco today and they have Goodyear wipers for 4.99 each right now. Not too sure how well they work but for that price I couldn't pass them up, even if they only last 4 months!

Silblade wipers were the best I ever used.

I have tried the Costco Goodyear wiper blades. I wasn't impressed. I hope you have better luck.

I used the Goodyear blades on my old 2005 KR and liked them very much! Maybe results depend on where you live? (Air quality, road conditions, etc.)

Good Year from Costco also...they are so inexpensive...I change yearly with those whether or not I need to...I just bought a set last week...$ 7.99 ea + tax! The sun here in Northern CA beats them up during the summer...
