The rainx wipers suck from my experience, they lift off of the windshield at 45+mph due to the fin design.

The rain x wipes and rain x in the yellow spray bottle work fantastic!!! I usually get around a month or longer if I keep the windshield clean. At 45+mph you don't even need the wipers in a moderate rain.

I was referring to the rain x wipes that come in individual packets not the wiper blades. The wipes seem to have the same product as the spray bottle because they both work equally as well.

I use the liquid on my windshield about once every month or two. Come to think of it, it needs it now. Anyways, it works great and i dont really need the wipers unless its pouring or there is alot of spray from the car in front of me.

Don't know about the rainx wipers, but the spray/wipes is amazing. It's like wax for your windows! I thought I heard something about potato juice doing the same thing, anyone know?

I got a set of the bosch wipers and they have lasted a long time (not used very much). Maybe it's not just the bosches, but the passenger side doesn't sit flat on the window at the very end closest to the antenna.

X2, not worth the price because they have not been any better than the cheapo brand i used to buy. when these wear out i will be going back to the cheap ones. i do however love the rain-x washer fluid. it applies rain-x coating when you wash the windshield and that works very well.
