Is it better to get more expensive wiper blades replace when needed or buy cheaper wiper but replace them every year?

Right now I'm using bosch clear advantage, started to leave water streaks after 2 years of use.

I use cheap wipers, rm12 per pair 😂
As long as no irritating sound, im OK

But of course, got minor water streak

I recently tried the silicone wipers sold in Lotuss. It is RM12.50 per wiper (rm25 per pair). So far so good.

Will observe if this could last more than a year. Previously tried an rm18 silicone wiper that was bough online. Only lasted about 10 months before it starts juddering & streaking.

How's the wiping, does it leave minor water residue?

Mine has minor residue, but yeah as long as no juddering, streaking im ok.. Those are annoying and disturbing concentration when driving

PIAA wipers need do coating on window to reduce the juddering.
If you buy those expensive PIAA wiper set, usually they will provide the coating liquid to apply on windscreen before you fit it.

Means only the PIAA wiper is not enuf, must combine with effect from the windscreen coating

The window coating is the one help reduce the juddering effect, making it smooth when operating and also help repel water better in combination of both. If you don't want the coating, you can can still use the PIAA wiper but for some car window design or condition it may create the juddering effect more frequently.

Yea, means windscreen surface is culprit for judder and screeching sound

Few yrs i put body shampoo into the wiper water tank, dint solve the problem.. recently tried dishwasher fluud, so far so good
