I have been a huge fan of our PIAA Super Silicone wiper blades for some time. Last night after a large bug made a valiant effort to get through my windshield I was washing things up. and want to show why. JUST last week I ran through a construction zone that splattered tar all up the front of my truck. I had to use Laquer Thinner to clean it all off the windshield and I followed it up by 50/50 alcohol and water and then finally Windex. So, at that point I knew it was as clean as it could be and the initial silicone treatment that comes with the blades was removed. After just a week of wiper use you can clearly see the blades have re-deposited a new thin layer of silicone back onto the window to repel water JUST like they claim. Very cool.

Available for most cars and trucks here:

Or, give me a call to order.

 

Been using 'em for years. I highly recommend them to anyone.

 

Would like PIAA's but I can't get a second mortgage on the house!! I went with trico neoform beam blades and aquapel glass treatment - got both online. On my vehicles the whole windshield beads-up rather than just under the blade...I think its a little less distracting. What I really like is that they said the aquapel would last 4-6 months and they were right - 6 months for sure and then it did drop in performance but up until then, it was great. I guess this stuff bonds to the glass rather than coating it like silicone. As far as the tricos, they were about $15 each and have some kind of teflon coating on them which keep them very quiet. Urrrrrrgh...if it wasn't so darn cold here in Wisconsin, I'd re-apply the aquapel today!?!?!? LOL

Thanks for the review though!!

 

Yep D, they work great man!
