I use Anco. Considering I have access to the Bosch line at discount prices and have the ability to sell them, that should say something.

I have Bosch, I recommend Anco. The Boschs only work well for a month or two and they they are worthless. The Ancos do not wipe as well as the Boschs, but last 10x as long.

I Hate You.

That's really scary..driving a powerful car like that (for it's time) in the snow...RWD. THat's why in the future when I can afford it, I will have a nice poweful AWD car like the S4!

Anco arms, and I change only the inserts.

To clean, use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Bosch Micro Edge and Rain X.

They work good until it gets cold and full of ice and snow. which has happened here in Illinois already.

What do you think are the best wipers for ice and snow?

Genuine Nissan rubber only refills. I get about a year from them. I clean them with the sponge I wash my car with.

Baught the Bosch refills once, only got 6 months out of them. And they were $$$
