    Post up the wiper blades you use, how much they cost, and a brief review of them! Put the brand and name of the wiper in BOLD. Thanks!


    Aanco budget blades ($12 for 2, 5 months of excellence, 4 months OK)

    just replaced those with Trico ExactFit. $22 for 2, so far so good.

    I'd have to look and see what the brand name is but it's the cheapest ones autozone had. They work great but i almost never use them. Rain-x FTW.

    Trico and Anco's cheapest suck Brandon's car's balls. If his car had balls that is.

    Anco Advantage, bosch Icon's, Michelin's frameless, all work great. Usually the Michelins are a deal at Walmart. Toss rainX on the window and never touch the blades. (Cept to wipe the wet leaves off the window)
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I have Bosch's. I won't buy anything else.

    I have the single blade version. The stockish type blades suck. Newer cars all have this style for a reason!

    Bosch Icons > Rain-X Latitudes
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    ACDelco 8-122 All Season Plus blades. Teflon coated blade and it comes with an "Optimizer pad" which makes them last longer. I usually change blades once a year. Not using washer fluid also makes them last longer. I bet I use a gallon a year, compared to my wife using a gallon/month.

    I've had the Rain-X Latitudes about 2 years now. Best wiper blades I've used. No signs of wear yet. Got them on sale at Advance, $22 for the pair.
