Ugh, windshield wipers that is. :? I have been getting more and more pissed off at all the wipers I have bought, so I decided to splurge and buy some of the overpriced Reflex wipers from CT. The were $21.99 + tax each :shock: I had a gift certificate from Christmas though, so it eased the pain at the till. Just judging by the price, they are not worth it. There are other options like the teflon one’s that go for about $5 cheaper each. However, if you are fed up with crappy wipers, and price is of no concern, I would certainly recommend them. With the bit of snow we had earlier in the week, the difference was huge. I am definately happy with them. The test now will be to see how long they last. :twisted: ---

my uncle was telling me that they are absolutely great, he uses them on his van. I have to get some and try them out. ---

Yeah, i’m in the market for new blades as well. I decided last year that I would buy the cheapest and replace them each season. If these $20 blades last longer then 2 seasons they’re worth it. However i have doubts of the reflex lasting until the end of the summer. ---

^^^ I found the Reflex ones worked just as well… The key to the PIAA ones is the little packet of windscreen wipe they give you. You can get generic stuff like that from Rain-x or I think Castrol has it too. Use a little of that and the Reflax Blades and they are just as good as PIAA. ---

Using this substance, do you find that it leaves smudging on the windshield? Also, do yours squeak? All the wipers I have tried have squeaked, including the Reflex one’s I have now. Possibly a side effect of using the car wash stuff I use (car wash with wax included)? ---

Possibly wax, but I’d think it’d be worn off by now, and they still squeak. ---

It can’t be that, as the sound comes from where the wiper blade makes contact with the windshield. Must be something about the pressure at contact, and the angle it wipes at or something. All I know is that it’s a piss-off. :evil: ---

What would you suggest putting on the wiper blades? Is there stuff you can be for that? ---
