The Bosch blades are amazing but my arse still hurts.
Lol. There was a guy a few posts back that mentioned getting scratches out of his windshield with wire wool and something, a trick he learned from somebody? Have a look, see if you can find it.

That was done already on this windscreen to remove water etching. It failed. Maguiars glass compound cleaner did it in the end. I’m going to try sort the marks tomorrow.

2009 VE SSV M6 on LPG and 2022 Kawasaki Z650L
Mine only lasted 6 months before chattering. Will be getting the Tridons from now on which are expensive but I know they last about 24 months before needing replacement.
Don’t buy the Repco blades. I just had one fall off my car when I turned the wipers on! Went and got myself the Tridons again from Supercheap for $90. I’ve tried cheap and learned my lesson!

Will be using Tridons again and nothing else. The last two sets were cheapies and you definitely get what you pay for!
