QUOTE(Zot @ Apr 6 2016, 03:26 PM) It is different argument comparison for me. Using RainX windscreen will break easily It is not about silicone wiper swipes water cleaner compare to other wiper. Using Rain X, you don't even need wiper Use silicone wiper on right, rubber wiper on left |

QUOTE(SupermanLick @ Apr 6 2016, 10:30 PM) Using RainX windscreen will break easily Not sure if you use it right. For me, using Rain-X my wiper lasted at least 5 years Use silicone wiper on right, rubber wiper on left The main reason I did not use wiper is because over certain period it will just create micro surface scratch on wiper's path. That is why when it rain the part of the screen on wiper's path will just wet while the part that was never been touched by wipers the rain will still bead. Simply means once you use wiper, you need to always use it |

No, it is the surrounding that will get the rain fly of your windscreen, BUT not your speed.for those who had jerking wiper. 1. wash screen with any car shampoo 2. wipe screen dry 3. polish screen with dry steel wool. 4. apply/polish with rain x Try >90km/j behind a lorry and see if the rain still fly off your windscreen. I have done 50km/j in Cyberjaya, the rain still fly off. No cars in front, no building blocking at the side. Also #3, polish with dry steel wool??? Have you done it before? I have seen it in youtube too. I would suggest just get proper windscreen polish, less risk and same effect. |

used PIAA silicone wiper for 6 years on my previous ride and never apply rain-x
never bother to lift up the wiper blade when park under hot sun after so many years still no issue wiper noise and wiping capability, only normal car wash for the windscreen, occasion wax the windscreen as well with car wax and the wiper still no problem wiping the only thing i did to prolong the wiper durability is to not turn on the wiper too early as the windscreen is not wet enough, since wiper can get damaged from the dust on windscreen |
