Yeah, just don't buy their blades! I tried their beam blades once because we had some at work and they were awful. Maybe it's a scheme to sell more of the chemical.
Thanks a lot, Paulo. That looks like a good way to save money and get good results, too.
Those AC Delcos do look good, but I'm wondering about their suitability for the climate I'm in. I grew up in the southeastern US (you're in Alabama right?) and am familiar with very hot, high-humidity conditions. There, though, I never saw the sort of rubber deterioration that I'm observing in the very arid, often very hot climate where I am presently. I think the sunlight as much as anything takes its toll on rubber. The tires on the car when I bought it didn't have that many miles on them, but boy did they show deterioration, apparently from the sunlight but maybe heat, too. Mainly there were zillions of hairline cracks in the rubber, especially on the sides but also in the tread. Then I noticed the same in the wiper blades.
My thoughts exactly. The refills can be had for about $8-10 each and my local dealer installs them for free.
Furthermore, I don't get all the hype around these new blades, whether they are beam, hybrid etc; let alone the price! The genuine Honda, all metal hinged blades do their job well. I think wiper manufactrers are learning their gimmicks from the other blade companies like Gillette! I use a single blade disposable BIC and guess what? It works! Just my 2c.
