Thank ye kindly sir, I will have a butchers at a decent set and hope they work better than the standard setChris_D said:Yep fred. The 'aero' design causes slightly greater downforce and helps the marketing claims of greater water dissplacement.firebobby said:
Deep cleaning ur windscreen with wire wool and the applying rain-x can help too.
I recently fitted two 20" Denso blades, the 22" was way to long for the passenger side, it was wiping the wing mirror. Best blades I've ever used. Put them on my Ford Fiasco and Van too. Cheap as chips. No flapping about, driving at 80 in the rain with no jumping or juddering and they clear the screen without smearing. Previously had the Bosch blades and the passenger side kept juddering on the way back down. None of that now.

Stay away from wire wool Fred. I know there's many youtube vids showing that there's no damage done, but it does cause micro scratches that will flash up in the sunlight. Best to use 'Stoners invisible glass spray' to first wet the screen, then take a razor blade and fix into a holder and gently shave all the crap off the glass. Don't use a bic razor as such, you just need the flexibility of the standard old fashioned razor blade as opposed to the rigidity of a stanley blade. Once you've done that use a medium clay bar to pull out all the grime from the scratches and dinks using stoners as the lube for the claybar. Then give it a final clean with microfiber to lift off all the s**t. Now finally clean with stoners, buff with microfiber and seal with rainex or raingaurd or some other extra terrestrial nano sealant. If you're a real OCD you can polish with various grades of compounds and polishes to remove lighter scratches with a buffer. But that's more for the experienced. I generally find that the Stoners, blade, clay ,buff and rainex gets the screen clean and sealed. Denso blades all the way too.
