Tried and tested wipers

[MadoX]

Hey guys,

what wipers work well for you guys? is it worth paying a higher price? My car is usual parked inside the garage or a parking building so hardly any sun light would cause it to "melt" from the hot glass.

I've tried a few wipers and here is what I think of them.

Stock = of course, very good and long lasting, sometimes last almost a year (or more), but don't really want to go all the way to honda to get a pair. and it's expensive too..

Bosch (tropical) = they say is suits our hot weather here, but I'm not too sure about that, seems to last just as long as the previous design and for 600.00 php a pair I thought it could last a little longer

Autosport = ok ok so i tried the cheap taiwan brand and yeah it only works for a couple of months then it doesnt wipe the water from my windsheild but smears it instead... 129.00 php

So what about other brands like DENSO and other more affordable wipers? give me an idea what you guys buy.

I use Autosport. The Php45.00/pr refills. Maybe it's because I'm using them on the OEM NWB frame that's why mine lasts long.

Bumili kami ng generic wiper (blade with frame) sa BLADE for Php99.00/pr. Ayaw gumana sa Vitara (lumulundag). Ginawa ko nilipat ko yung NWB+Autosport refill wipers ng Pajero dun sa Vitara. Ayun, ok na ngayon.

Yung Php99.00 refill muna ginagamit ko sa Pajero. Wala namang problem sa akin. Baka mahina yung spring ng wiper arm nung Vitara or yung glass niya medyo hindi na perfect.

Did you check the wiper as to what brand of wiper is stock on the Civic? Most probably it will be NWB or Denso. Naka-engrave iyon dun sa frame ng wiper.

ang hirap maghanap ng LHD OEM for liteace! buti pa yung RHD, daming stock....

oh well, refill, anu marerecomend nyo??

i recently purchased denso.. they make japanese car oem wipers so i hope this will last like stock wipers..we'll see after a year...(hehe tagal pa)

[Supierreman]

Denso is also made by NWB (Nippon Wiper Blade) ito rin yung OEM wipers ng Honda, Toyota etc...

in my experience mas maganda pa yung bosch tropical wipers than the NWB wipers.

One more thing if you're experiencing wiper streaking paglass polish nyo yung windshield sa bigberts. it does make a difference.

[alwayz_yummy]

ang MAHAL ng NWB! per piece pa, unlike sa bosch pair na...pero..

hirap maghanap for my liteace, LHD twin-screw, 22"D,13.5"-14"P,16"R para sataas ng arm ung blade...unlike sa most, RHD twin-srew, sa ilalim ng arm ang blade

Bosch pa rin. ;)

I tried using refills before, grabe hirap palitan mga blades and that's why I switched to bosch with frame (mahal), so now I'm on the hunt for other wiper blades with frames.

regarding windshield cleaning... DEFINITELY BIG BERT'S

I wonder if there's something I could buy to clean and polish my own windsheild?

I don't have anything against BOSCH (I do use it too) pero I also change the blades of our other cars and at 500++ a pair it does add up.

If you buy refills in Banawe they will install it.

Yes, hindi madali mag-install (it took me two sets before the job became easier). Pero yung price difference between Php45.00 at Php500.00 ay sulit na din. hehehe. I also shoot the frame with a new coat of flat black before installing the refills.

NWB is Php180ea (blade with frame) sa SM ACE Megamall.
