I don’t understand why people buy aftermarket wiper blades and not OEM refills. I used to buy Nissan and now have been buying Honda refills for nearly 20yrs. They are super high quality and always fit and never have a wiper failure since they are just the rubber wiper strip.
But if you really want some quality windshield hydrophobic action, buy some CarPro Reload. Clean the windshield first then spray some of the Reload, just a few sprays on entire windshield, wipe the whole windshield down and flip microfiber and wipe again. A little goes a long way, it’ll give you a few months of amazing hydrophobic action. And when it dies off, repeat. A small 500ml bottle will last a long time. Oh and you can use the same Reload on your whole car after washing, it’s a spray on sealant.
If you want to get nifty, buy some EchO2 and mix with Reload (Use 50ml/1.7oz of Reload and 50ml/1.7oz of ECH2o in a 500ml bottle) for a awesome quick detailer/windshield cleaner spray. Or use on car for touch ups.
I’ve been doing this for coming up on 7yrs, OEM wiper refills and CarPro Reload on windshield for the best, often no wiper needed driving.
