I like rainex. You need to really clean the hell out of your windshield first. I also like the rainex windshield wiper fluid. I like the patterns of the water beading up, then again 90% of my driving does not coincide with other drivers on the road.

The water does just... Leave. I can almost drive without the wipers it works so effectively.

My Honda blades didn't last 6 months.

When I first got my SSR the Chevy dealer used genuine Chevy part number blades. I'd have them replaced once a year, although they didn't always need it. Then the dealer started using auto parts store blades like the public buys and I couldn't get more than three months out of them.
