remal 85 Report post Posted August 5, 2015 Just a heads to all If you have access to costco they sell Michelin Stealth Wiper blades for less than £5 each. been using them for some time on my daily drive and going to get some for the 86" So if your looking I would recommend then for the price and that they do a good job of cleaning your screen just thought I would mention this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Duff 79 Report post Posted August 5, 2015 I've always used Bosch Aerotwin myself Yes, I replaced my OEMs with the Aerotwin earlier this year, but while I liked them a lot on my old car, and have found they do wipe a lot better than the OEMs, I also get quite a lot of annoying wiper judder at the tips so wouldn't mind trying something else like these Michelins.

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted August 5, 2015 Is it worth mentioning that I have covered 68K miles on my original set of wiper blades and they still work just fine! 1 Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smudge 1020 Report post Posted August 6, 2015 Is it worth mentioning that I have covered 68K miles on my original set of wiper blades and they still work just fine! There will be some smearing/missed patches I bet For the sake of £10, worth changing once a year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 458 Report post Posted August 6, 2015 That's why I'm changing mine, they now smear if the windscreen isn't soaking, the passenger one is worse but that's probably because I used them when it was frozen to the windscreen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Test Drives Unlimited 278 Report post Posted August 6, 2015 Am with Lauren on this one ,have done 36k miles in 2yrs on the original wiper blades and still all OK Really can't see the point of changing them for just the sake of it !!!!

rob275 1817 Report post Posted August 6, 2015 Tbh if they are jumping it's most likely not because they are worn out but because they need cleaning. Clean them in some diluted citrus degreaser job done. As for the gtechniq wearing out, it wears out quicker if you use your wipers, keeping the wipers clean will prolong the life of it and it should be topped up anyway.
