Default Wiper blade choice

I know this may seem a little strange question, i purchased some halfords ones but they are not very good. Anyone suggest any for my Hawkeye.

I consider wiper blades second only to tyres as far as a safety priority, as without decent ones, in a flash downpour, you can't see...

Am a big fan of Bosch Aerotwin flat wiper blades, so would recommend looking into these. An established eBay seller is usually the cheapest supplier.

Worth cleaning windscreen with a decent glass cleaner, and cleaning blades with same or meths whist fitting.

If you'r in the market, then buy some proper ones,
Motorsport guys will use PIAA wipers, silicon based and last for years, no need for rainX ever again. They are twice the price of regular wipers mind but worth every penny.

Wet trackdays / wet motorways etc etc you literally don't need your wipers they are that good.

You can get them from Alyn at AS Performance I think and also camskill I believe .
