Poor visibillity in rain

I like getting my questions answered by 30 people who watched the same YouTube tutorial that I did. Diagnosis by popular opinion has repaired my truck, reorganized my finances, and resolved my lumbar stenosis. Hey, I'm alive and almost mobile. Thanks, internet.

 

I've been rocking the 3$ walmart wipers every 6 months for about 10 years now between all my vehicles. Usually they're still in decent enough shape, I just swap them out before and after winter typically.

OP - Rainx/wax. Grab an orbital polisher from HF and some wax, go to town.

 

Definitely his shitty windshield wipers.

 

I like Rain-X treatment, the washer fluid, or the Prestone washer fluid with the rain treatment. But Rain-X beam wiper blades suck.

I've got those Aslam wipers on a few of our cars, bang for the buck they're great. I was shocked how long the inserts last too. Looks like they don't sell the inserts alone anymore though.

 

Shame. Though they do come with an extra set.

 

Mods.... Can we merge these two threads?

Yup. It just sweetens the deal. Might get some for my truck before the snow flies. The stock ones work OK in the rain but those "one piece" ones are the set up for snow and ice.

 

We find it's always better to ask these type of questions on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there's less chance of an incident if you do this at the end of the week.

 

100% agree with the clay bar process for the windows with a good quality lubricant (like a detailing spray). The windows get stuck on contamination just like the body and the front window is worse as the contaminantes are impacted on the glass. You can also use the glass spray cleaners which do a nice job at finishing the cleaning work.
I have heard that graphene coatings work well. https://adamspolishes.com/products/graphene-ceramic-glass-coating
