Default Rain.... and Wipers

I was wondering what everyone used for wipers... I just bought some rain ex ones....


Funny story... today

Raining like a batch outside.... So I turn on my wipers... wipe wipe wipe wipe... and then one get turned vertical... F... so I pull off as soon as I can... Fix it... or thought... turned it back on and the wiper sheared right off... so I had to bust my butt to wally world and pick up a new set.... so now I rock some rain ex....

But as i was coming out of wally world the spot next to me had a cart in it... some guy in a chevy 2500 pulls in a little bit and goes to get out of his truck to move it... I hop over and move it for him... payin it forward to the chevy guys

I had "Reflex" wipers for over a year on my old car. They are the same idea as RainX wipers (no hinges etc.). I spend $50 for the set, and they lasted the longest I've ever had a pair of wipers..without ever having a problem. That's odd that the RainX ones would be so crappy. I know not to buy those now

I don't even know what brand I have on mine, but I almost never need to use them


If you've never used Rain-X sprays I recommend it. I seam to be the only one who doesn't have there wipers on when it rains. The only time they really they really come on is if I'm going under 30 mph or it's raining buckets. Any speed past 30 mph the rain fly's right off the widows.

I live by rain-x. The stuff is amazing. I laugh as I drive down the road seeing people with their wipers on storm mode and I don't even have mine turned on, yet can see perfectly! haha.

The first time I tried it, I thought oh crap I just bought junk but it was because it wasn't raining really hard and I was only going 25 mpg, once I got up to cruising speed, I fell in love


Rain-X for all exterior glass and Stoners Invisible glass for all interior glass

I love cruising down the highway at night with the stuff, kinda looks like cruising through space lol. . I stick with windex for all my interior and glass. I can't bring myself to use any aerosol glass cleaner. I haven't been able to get near as good results from any of them compared to plain ol' windex. And I'm very **** about my windows lol...they have to be clean!
