    The rainy season has officially started....

    Need to change my aging wiper blades. May streaks na pag daan sa windshield. Halos wala na akong makita.

    Is there an advantage to using those Bosch "tropical rubber" blades?

    May mas maganda ba diyan or gimik lang lahat yan? Mag-replacement na lang kaya ako or OEM?

    sa Honda rebranded lang yun na NWB. madali masira yun. in a matter of months madali na magskip sa windshiled.

    I tried Bosch tropical Rubber mas ok yun. Kahit naarawan yung wipers tapos pagdating ng ulan ok pa rin .. no skipping saka swabe pa yung pagwipe nya.

    Sa binondo mismo yung Distributor ng Bosch products. (sila yung may Bosch Booth sa trasnshow). Warren yung pangalan ng shop. may benta sila dun pwede rin isa lang.

    Or try mo sa shangrila mall dun sa may bosch shop.

    i use bosch wiper blades as well, pero ngayon nung sinubukan ko after a long time, nagsiskip sya and nag-iiwan ng konting streaks... baka makunat na, matagal tagal na rin sya eh

    Nag change na din ako to Bosch from NWB (Nippon Wiper Blade) OK naman siya so far. Since its more expensive than NWB, nilagyan ko yung wipers ko nung wiper stand para mas matagal yung life nung rubber blades. Ito yung automatic nageengage if you turn on the wiper but you have to manually set it up uli after mo gamitin yung wipers.

    copy paste ko na lang yung nakapost sa HCP

    Warren Automotive Co.

    1054 Benavidez St. Binondo, Manila, Philippines

    244-1775
    244-1776
    244-1777

    Telefax:
    247-4879



    dude sa warren sa benavidez st. cor recto from avenida, yung 3rd stop light sa left side.

    To go there either take a left at the 1st stop light then right at the 1st street, then take a right after the bridge, tignan mo lang sa right side na may bosch na signage or take a left at abad santos (stop light after benavidez) then take another left sa stoplight, then another left ulit at benavidez st mismo.

    These last longer than the "ordinary" wiper blades because the rubber is meant for hotter country. My guess, the rubber dries out slower. I've used replacement blades and it would only be good for a few months before it would need to be replaced because of bad streaking.

    wiper skipping isn't due to wiper blade wear, it's because of an uneven, sticky windshield... changing to new blades wont solve the prob...

    as for the bosch, i use em as well...

    I suppose the best would be have your windshield cleaned professionally and use Bosch wiper blades :D

    To a certain extent, newspaper act as a glass polish and is a proven method over the years... but as a cleaning tool, it falls short... nevertheless, newspaper is one of the best materials you can use for a streak free glass panel.
