I just wax my windshield... same effect.

I don't find normal wax to cause water to bead AND fly off as effectively as a dedicated glass wax, like Rain-X. It beads, but isn't "slippery" enough to make the water fly off that effectively.

We´ll i got that rain-x windshield stuff today, so i'll put it on tomorrow and try it out. As for the wipers, I found them for cheap, so I am going to try out the valeo wipers - i'll be sure to let ya know what I think of everything!

So I tried the rain-x stuff. Its interesting. At higher speeds, like 50 and up, it is great. But when you are driving slower, like in traffic, there is not enough wind to blow the water off. It definitely helps, but not a substitute for wipers unfortunately.

Ordered the BOGO Valeo's...never had nice blades for my cars. I'll let you know how it turns out.


Total for me after shipping was $27.

The deal for the Valeo's is good until the 31st of this month...so jump on it!

I got them..the wipers work nice. I still get one area on the passenger side at the bottom where the wiper skips over. I think it is the spring strength that makes it skip over that area.

Look very clean on the car! We have not had too much freezing weather yet this year..so I cannot comment on that aspect of them.

OEM replacements. I've had my tC for 6 months, and drove 11k miles, with my fair share in the rain, and my OEMs are still 100%. Just my .02

My drivers side valeo wiper doesn't seem to go as far left as the stock ones did. I find it annoying, but otherwise I love em. I wish there were a way to adjust the wiper so it could go a bit further!
