With wipers if you have streaks with new blades it’s probably because you have a problem with your tension spring. Mechanic can fix it in 10 min and likely won’t even charge if you use him regularly.

Blades, bargain and “high end” only last as long as the condition’s allow. If in a garage at night in winter and a garage during the day in summer, you’ll get a lot more life out of them. Ice and heat deteriorate the blades bargain or not.

There’s no magic rubber being used by rain-x. Your expensive blades are marked up just like expensive wine. You perceive them to be better quality because you paid more, but it’s really all the same shite
