Let's talk windshield wipers.

Any personal experience with a wiper brand/model that works well and lasts? I put Rain-X brand on my truck at the last oil change and haven't been impressed. I have to cycle them a few times just to clean the spray from the mister.

So 3 for 3 on Bosch, that was easy.

RainX are garbage for the price. Bosch FTW
ETA: I've owned 2 sets of Rain X on different vehicles and they didn't last.

It also helps to properly TREAT your windshield with Rain-X. This is not the same as using Rain-X brand washer fluid, although that is a good fluid to use.
I've had Icons on my truck for almost a year. But I hardly ever need to use them since my windshield is treated. If I'm driving over 40 mph, wipers aren't necessary.

I've used Bosch for years and been pleased. Just got the new rain x quantums tho and they are really badass. Stay nice and tight on the windsheild and leave no steaks or anything behind. If they last, I would highly recommend

Windshield game is on point. Truck is a disaster otherwise right now though.

Bosch for me... oh and how much longer before B&B comes bitching about grown men talking about windshield wipers, trucks, and blah blah blah.

I just use them until they tear or dry-rot. Then I use them for another year or so. Eventually I break down and buy a $20 set (no particular brand) and say "Damn, these new things make my truck feel like new."
I put some Boschs on my wife's Yukon. She says they are the best wipers she's ever had. She's also as blind as a bat, so take that for what it's worth.

Never had much luck with Rain-X. I've been using the Michellins for a few years.

When you leave the house in a suit at 5:30am, the last thing you want to do is clean the dew of the side windows.

Bosch clear advantage. Just as good as icons. Amazon has them.
