Default Wipers

Time to replace my wiper blades. Did a little research and found some call ScrubBlade. I've never heard of the but seem like a great idea. Anybody know about them and if you have them what do you think? Worth the price? ($15.55 per blade on Amazon)

Someone was talking about them in a dirty windshield thread. Can't remember the thread but someone recommended them.

You can go to a 16" blade with no problem. Bosch Evolution 16" work great.

I just put 16" scrub blades on my 08 Rubicon. On a day when not raining, I hit the washer, 4-5 strokes across the windshield and all the dried bug guts were gone. Highly recommend them. You can enhance wiper effectiveness by polishing your windshield with Gel Gloss "No Streek" glass and silver polish. Comes in an 8 oz bottle. i got mine at a True Value hardware store for ~ $5 a bottle. Stock number is NS8. Amazon also.

Every blade stated here thus far, except the scrubbers, I've tried & have had horrible time with...just bought a pair of Valvoline Xtreme something or another, will see how these act...but if same results will certainly be hittin' up these scrubbies next time around fo sho!
