OEM Wipers
 
I replaced my wipers 2 month ago with 370z OEM Wipers. They tend to streak a bit in heavy rain. :mad:

What other wiper blades out there do you recommend that I can pick up auto parts place? I am willing to spend as much as I did on the OEM ones for the best performance.

I use Rain-X Latitude.

Take a rough towel/cloth and firmly wipe the wiping edge of the blade. Do it 2-3 times, until you don't get any more dirt off. The blades tend to deteriorate plus gather gunk from the windshield. A quick wipe can work wonders.

With Rain X properly applied you don't need wipers

Or any good wax! This is my favorite thing after washing my Z or truck! Love watching the water bead up and fly off the windshield even when I am going under 40

Trico Onyx or Force series wipers. Bosch Icons if you think you drive a Porsche.

Rain-x wipers and regularly cleaning them is the best choice

Also using Rain-X windshield cleaner is a great combo

it's not the blades, it's the gunk on your glass.

try rain-x on the glass. you got oil on there that needs to be removed. rain-x has cleaning agents that will get rid of all that crap while keeping your glass nice and smooth. :yum:

303 Wiper Treatment

I found that those wiper treatments make blades hop/chatter.

Just on the Z? I've used them for the last several years on 6 or 7 different vehicles with excellent results. After a few wipes they give a similar effect to RainX. Maybe they don't hop/chatter for me b/c I don't put RainX or anything like that on the windshield???

OEM Wipers
 
Can't believe nobody has mentioned using clay bar on your windows. You'd be amazed how clean and clear the windows become after clay barring. Then apply Rain-x per the label.

I avoid Rain-X type products like the plague. Sure they work great in the rain for beading water away but after it rains and the car is parked and that water dries its water spot city all over your windshield.
