All About Wipers

Now that the rainy season is really upon us, do you guys replace your old wiper blades or just use the old ones no matter how old until they start streaking?

My experience kasi, I replace them every year when the wet season is in full swing. I just buy the less expensive brands since I mean to replace them next year again. Consumable items, so to speak.

Why risk diminished visibility for a few hundred pesos every year?

Thoughts?

I do replace mine every 2 years.
Rear on the other hand, never

What brand do you get Master C?

Ditto on the rear wiper, although I did replace the one on my Ravie when I noticed that it was already torn on one side by about 2 inches. But that was maybe 5 years ago. LoL.

Replacing yearly is my practice sa front wipers. rear kapag may punit lang

Ako yung mga "entry level" lang ng wiper (bosch advantage, nwb aqua, denso standard) binibili ko tutal yearly naman replacement.

Nwb. Or what is closest to the oem.
I dont like those fancy ones since they are disposable.

Same here sir Sleep, it just makes sense to me to replace them annually in preparation for the heavy downpours.

Mahirap ng mawalan ng visibility, lalo na ngayon sa dami ng sweet potato drivers.

NWB is actually quite pricey compared to other brands, great quality though. No streaking.

Are there fancier ones? Bosch?

Ako ginagawa ko din as preparation sa rainy season is detailing ng windshield. For me, it helps a lot sa hagod ng wiper. Lalo na kapag may mag-cut bigla na sweet potato motorists.

As per experience, may batches na may streaking yung bosch and nwb. For denso, first time ko lang kasi gumamit (currently installed) so i can't give feedback for now.

I used to wipe paper towels dipped in white vinegar to clean the windshield and windows, haha! Helped to remove stubborn water spots and stains.

Great suggestion though, I might do some detailing later when the car is all dry.

Same with sleep.
I use acid rain remover on my windshield mirror during rainy season. Nabibilad kasi sa araw minsan after a nights downpour. Helps with squeeking wiper.

Makati lang sa kamay.

Effective ba if you're going to use white vinegar? Never tried that pa pero that might be an alternative in the future if needed.

First experience sa acid rain remover is super itchy sa kamay kapag naparami ng gamit. But when you see the effects (beading), it puts a smile on your face.
