Wiper blades. Can anybody recommend a good set? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have tried a couple of different wiper blades on different cars (including rain x) and I must say that I like BOSCH wiper blades the most! They make little to no noise and clean really well!
I don't have my Camaro yet but Im sure their quality is the same for all cars.

Have used Rain X latitudes for years. They work great. I imagine my stock blades on the car will dry rot before they wear out.

I also hear good things about Bosh Platinums.

I'm here in Seattle where it does rain occasionally. I'm still on my original wipers, having driven the car daily since December of 2009 and put almost 39,000 miles on the car. I'd say that at most 1/5th of the time I actually drive in rain, because it really doesn't rain as much as people think here in Seattle. When it does rain, it mists most of the time.

I've been thinking of replacing my wipers after this winter, as I think this may be the last season for the current blades. No problems though with the wipers as of now, as they still do a great job as is.

I have had many sets of wipers in my multiple cars, and the ones that I like the best are the Michellins. They are more expensive but last really long and clean nice and clear. Also works great on bugs with wiper fluid too. That is what I will get when I need new ones for mine.

Agreed.
I've never had better OEM wipers on any car I've owned.

On my other cars rain-x was my preferred way to go especially latitudes but the OEM are very good and have a much better look that rain x cant offer.

Use an apple core to wipe down the blades occasionally. I have used this old treatment on all my vehicles and works great. I have not replaced my wipers since I received the car back in Dec09' . Keeping the windshield clean helps too. I treat it with windex and then Rain-X. All together they work great.
