Bought a whole bunch looking for a proper set.

1. SWV wipers (lifetime warranty) at about Rm300 per pair, service people kept throwing the ball at one another, not sure if still active but damn they merely wiped marginally better than those roadside ones at a hefty premium.

2. Those sold from a car at petrol station at about Rm15-35 per piece - terribly disappointed due to how cheap and bad it wiped.

3. Best pair I had so far was Stanford brought from Giant for about Rm30 one set. Actually coated my windscreen and helped prevent some watermarks.
Since then no more on sale. Still works after few years but streaking has started, time to hunt for another pair i suppose.

Would also agree that there's a need to clean the wipers and windscreen periodically.

If already with watermarks have to use machine or elbow grease to do manually with: (MAKE SURE TO WASH AND CLAY BEFOREHAND) Dont bother with all those youtube videos on vinegar la, some bar of soap that allegedly removes watermarks, IPA, lemon, dish washer etc.
a. Soft99 Glass stain remover,
or
b. Meguiars glass polishing compound

Would help to also coat it when its clean and dry with something like Soft 99 Glaco (normal or ultra, depending on your use case).
