Here’s mine being soaked with aerospace 303.
The green things are sleeves over the blade. Doing it over a couple of days.

Um, put the wiper arms on the car.
I have the arms off for other reasons.

So the rubbers are dry or do you wipe them and put them on?

LOL Yes, I wipe the wiper blades, let them dry a little and put them back on.

I do the tops as well.

Here’s a little trick I did which made my wiper blades work like new again. I just slid out the rubber blade, then reinserted it the other way around.

Works amazing now. Previously it wasn’t wiping in the centre section. Good temporary fix anyway.

I did see the part numbers,
Is there a particular seller you would recommend, apart from Holden ?
I did buy a set of front ones, from a Stealer,
But I recon they were a warranty replacement, because they seemed to be used, but they claimed to be new,
But when I installed them, they left streaks on the glass, where NEW wiper blades wont do that.
So I am a bit suspicious of who I buy from now.
