Opinion About Longer Lasting Better Windshield Blades?

clean your blades with a cloth rag and alcohol to remove the dirt

My wiper blades seldom need to be replaced. I wash my vehicles wind shield a couple of times a month with Dawn dish washing soap/water mixture that I keep in a bucket in the garage. I scrub the rubber blades also and wipe dry
About twice a year I carefully pull the rubber blades out and turn them around.

Great suggestion! It's time I replace my blades as well.

BOSCH ICON !!! They are great blades, current set have been on my rig now for three years, still work perfect.

Bosch Icon blades are expensive, but well worth it.

I have had better luck with Bosch than Trico or Rain-x. I do use Rain-X washer fluid which does contain a small amount of silicone oil which helps protect the rubber on the blades. I live and travel mostly in the northern states so heat and ozone (factors in rubber failure) is less.
I have in the past used Armorall on rubber which contains silicone to protect rubber, do NOT however use this with out Rain-X it can really cause some interesting effects on glass.
