    and look for their own brand in the clearance section, they seem to be the same as those not on clearance but cheaper still.

    I've always bought Bosch wipers for my cars, they're slightly more expensive but last well and are quiet.. well at least on my Focus

    When did you last polish the windscreen?
  • My current blades are from Wilkinsons. I don't highly rate them as they are already leaving a streak in one place. I've only had them on a few weeks but they were only a £1odd each.

    My last blades were aero flat ones from wiperblades.co.uk. But due to the curvature of the windscreen on the Pug 206 they were missing a large section at the side of the screen when wiping.

    Clearance ones seems to be the customer returns sold on cheaper.
