Hey guys, has anyone on here ever tried or heard any positive from using these kinds of windshield wiper blades restoring kits?

I've been changing mine once a year, and at $40~$50 a set, I feel like everytime I have to buy new ones... But if this thing works, then I can keep trimming the blades and only buy new ones every other year...

 

Seems like a band aid, but I've never tried this so don't take my word for it.

My blades' worst enemy is the sun around here. They just fall apart. Still, I don't pay that much for replacements,

 

Trying to figure out how it works - quick search yielded no results. It says 5 cloths are included. Does it refinish the blade (sandpaper? razor?) or is it just a handle shaped to hold a cloth against the wiper blade..can't tell for sure.

 

$40 to $50 a set? Aftermarket Autozone Duralasts will work just fine. Less than $25 for the pair, even the newer aeroddynamic models which work great for rainy days and highway travelling.

Shop a touch more conservatively.

 

I started trying different brands of wipers and stopped at michelin stealth because they actually are still working unlike my previous bosch that worked great and then the performance degraded a lot. I got them at walmart for $13 a piece unlike all the other aerodynamic wipers that average $20 a piece.

 

Treat your windshield with rainX (the original one) once in a while. Any rain water or droplet is rolling off the windshield (at 45+ mph) without your need to use wiper. My wiper lasts more than 2-3 years.

 

Better to buy less expensive wiper blades and replace them annually. Most blades are worn from sun exposure versus actual use as the UV rays are a killer on rubber.

 

Said it before, and I'll say it again... Valeo Ultimates from Tire Rack. Going on 5 years now, including winter use. Treat my windshield and all windows with Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax after washes, and everything just works. It's just Ultimate.
