Default does anyone make a decent wiper blade?

I never paid more than $1.89 for a gallon of washer fluid. Often

I had one batch of the generic stuff that froze someplace on the way to
the read window washer but most of it has functioned well.

I used RainX on a truck windshield about 20 years ago and that
experience turned me off. It looked like the glass had a sheen of oil
when after i applied it and buffed it. There seem to be happy users so I
might try it again.



Same here, but we are talking about the liquid. I was hesitant to buy
it, but was in need of fluid and that was the only one available. I was
pleased with it.

The blue stuff is cheaper, better than plain water, but can be a PITA
some days. The alcohol evaporates fast and leaves the water to freeze.
I've not used it since I tried the yellow Prestone a few years back.
