Androo Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Aero ones on ebay are winners. Dead cheap and much better than any bosch ones etc that i have ever had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 right this is where my geek hat gets well and truly welded to my head. i am a very avid fan of PIAA wipers; used them on the zed and the Stook and always been happy. my new car needs wipers and just out of interest i thought i'd do a little web research and see what i found. just to see if there was an auto test to prove that i was right with my choice even though they were a little more expensive than other makes. i found this http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/products/p ... _test.html the PIAA stuff was rated near the bottom and the new aero style ones seem to be the route forward. specifically the bosche areo twin and the Valeo Silencio X.TRM so i have just ordered a retro fit set of bosch aero twins to try them out. now if i'm honest my last set of PIAA seemed to drop in performance quicker than the last set. and i also wasn't that impressed with their screen protect which didn't seem as good as the rainex i use as well. so i've gone back to rainex fully and i'm also trying their rainex wiper fluid additive. the last thing i'll add is that wipers are great but they are at their best when combined with a good screen protect. i find that the water then beads off and you hardly have to use the wipers at all. this was very apparent when i drove my new car back which didn't have anthing on the screen and the wipers needed replacing. visibility was shocking. another screen protect that might be worth a try is duxback; i've seen it in halfords auto centre and this stuff has come from the aviation sector where they use it on aircraft windscreens. and apparently its meant to be better than rainex. but you have to go to the auto centre to have it appled, and at £30 i'm happy to stick with my rainex which came to £10 for the 2 bottles.

DoogyRev Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have had PIAA wipers on on for the last 2 years, I would say that over the last 8-10 months they have got much worse. Lucky its not really been raining much recently I will be going for the Aero ones I think, nearly half the price of PIAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Well you defo helped me make my mind up rt can I ask where you got them from ebay, the source of all good bargain hunting think i paid about £25 for my Jag ones, but they are both 21" long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO PIAA wipers are a rip. Your paying through the nose for not great protection. IMO clay your screen or use glass cutter, then clean it with something good like nilglass. Then put on rainx or G1. Much much better than the piaa ones and half the price, also use the a decent screen wash and your sorted. But some people like PIAA.

sss107 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I've tried alot of wipers (bit of a geek!) I have to say the best by far is http://www.wiperblades.co.uk great price and so far in 18 months, haven't gone wrong. Also, u receive them next day! I went with the their own brand since they apparently have awards for them. They've got other brands, seem highly rated too Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 just a note, that most people don't realise, wipers should really be changed every 12 months, think of it like a service item, or MOT item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxx Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 its a copy of the Bosch ones; i'd rather spend a bit extra and get the bosch ones why pay extra just for a name, especially if you intend to change every 12 months just a note, that most people don't realise, wipers should really be changed every 12 months, think of it like a service item, or MOT item for £10, you cant go wrong really.

charlotte-sparkles Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I bought for my Punto some cheap £7 pair from Ebay.....best £7 I've spent on my car ever!! Had them on just over a year now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BACON Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I have now gone with the Retro-fit flat beam wiper blades or Aero wipers........look absolutley stunning, far less bulky than the standard wipers on the Zed and they are SSSSOOOOOOOOO Good, can't believe my eyes that I have glass in my screen sometimes now. What a difference new wipers make!!!!!!! I would like to say though.....if anyone is after this style of wiper blade, then DO check out the Autobulbs Direct or ABD website; superb customer service and delivery. I ordered via the internet on Friday 27th May at 09.30am, recieved an email from them 10 minutes later stating my order had been processed and within 30 minutes another email stating they had been dispatched via the standard 2-4 working day delivery package that I had chosen at no extra cost (bargain). Even with the free standard delivery service selected I still recieved my wiper set from my posty at 10.00am on Tuesday 31st May (this is taking into account that the Monday was a bank holiday) so basically recieved the wipers on a next day delivery.......WOW!!!! And to top this..... being a member on here, one of the FANTASTIC administrators will PM you a special discount code and the order becomes even cheaper. As I have said WOW........check them out.....ABD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HassanZ Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I bought a full set (front and rear) of Champion Aero wipers, cost me £20 all-in. They work great! Just like a 'Champion'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Well my £10 ebay jobs are awesome. Would definitely recommend them. Delivered quickly perfect fit, work a treat.
