What is everyone using? | | | 10-19-2011, 04:44 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: MD Posts: 126 | PIAA Silicone Wipers from BavAuto. Bosche Icons are also a great wiper, I use them on my other car. __________________ '96 318ti Base - few mods installed... | | | 10-19-2011, 05:54 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Bethlehem, PA Posts: 1,106 | PIAA hands down, but they are pircy, I use Valeo, which are similar quality, and half the price. Tirerack also has them (often) buy one get one free, so they are pretty cheap if you get them there. Also, i use Rain-X Window Sheild treatment. it is so nice to have. all the rain and water from the road just rolls off of your window. the stuff is like $2.00 a bottle shipped on amazon, so you have alot of fluid to do alot of cars. i used the more expensive stuff (like $20 for 3 coats) but rain-x worked almost as good for about $0.20 a coat) __________________ Check out our new website! https://soltechsolutionsllc.com/ Green Your Decor with the Aspect!

Got poor contact - especially in the center. Tried bosch icons and liked them but they were very expensive. Switched from icons to trico neoforms a few years ago and have been extremely happy with them. I was going to re-order them but I started this string to see if anything new has come out in the last year that I should look at. So far, it sounds like the same options are out there. I've got a week or so before I order, we'll see...if not I'll stick with the neoforms. BTW - I also switched from rainx treatment to aquapel. Each application lasts 1/2 year and it doesn't haze-up like the rainx. Great stuff...apparently developed for the space shuttle or something like that. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
