I'm still using my PIAA Radix since 2019 still buttery smooth and wipes clean, but most importantly the windscreen must be cleaned from time to time, if too many baked in waterspot on windscreen, any wiper also will stutter after awhile.

No experience with both brands but I've heard mixed reviews for Kamatto and Trapo. I've been using Bosch for multiple cars now and honestly they just work for me. Check their shopee and you can see they have a price range of different wiper grades.

PIAA preferably if you afford
Japanese car can consider NWB
Conti can consider Bosch Or Valeo

Kamatto and Trapo probably got their wiper OEM from china factory, add their brand name then raise the price for profit

PIAA is worth it.
but if budget, get trapo..
avoid kamatto, as I read many stories on fb car group that wiper flew off during driving / wiping during rain.

Just buy those cheapo Silicone Wiper. Last very long time, the Silicone blade will outlast the cheap metal frame that holds it.

PIAA got sell only silicone replacement instead of the entire wiper frame. That seems to be reasonable.

Anyway, I lost track of when I bought my PIAA and up until today, it never had the stupid screeching sound when swishing.

Probably on 3rd year or more.

I sucked into PIAA

But if I were to start again, I just get those premium Bosch and change yearly. Still cheaper than PIAA. For me PIAA max is 2 years only.

Bosch for me

But seems Bosch nowadays reduced inventory. Not so many silicone models. Rubber still available.

Place I buy in Seapark PJ sells conti cars spare parts. Maybe they reduce inventory & not Borsch. Dunno.

Trapo my car - so far so good, more than 8 months still works well, with repellent features

Kamato wife’s car - cheaper than trapo. Has water repellent features too. So far so good too. Build quality not as good as trapo but works well

Saw someone recommending wischer so I decided to get it. Was pretty fed up with my previous wipers streaking so badly during rain and my rainx seemed to wear off damn quick most probably due to bad prep.

Went on to use IPA wipe the whole windscreen to remove any leftover residue after washing it then reapply but this time using turtlewax ceramic coat then finally to top it off finally got time to add the rainx wiper fluid if no more repellant effect just use the wiper fluid.

Today just rained super heavily and got chance to test it. Let's just say I'm really happy with the results.
