This is kinda a funny question but when driving in the rain the other day it made me want to ask it. Does anyone have windshield wipers that don't sqeek, or smear? No matter what brand I use the suck. Let me know what brand you use..

Rain-X. I know it's not a set of windshield wipers, but it sure beats the hell outta any wipers I've ever seen. As long as your windshield is clean and has a good coat of Rain-X, you'll be good to go at highway speeds when it is raining. Mist will still give you trouble and the wipers will be necessary. However Rain-X makes your wipers much more effective as well, just make sure the wipers are clean.

I wonder how those silicone wipers are? The company claims that they coat your windshield with a thin water repelling film, similar to what Rain-X does.....but I'm not sure if they work well or not.

Oh, and be sure to put Rain-X on your side and rear windows as well, it's a boon to drivers. It'll usually last a good 3-6 monhts on the side windows, 2-4 on the back, and 1-3 on the front depending on how much it rains, how dirty your windows are, and how much you use your wipers and roll your windows up/down.

You guys look into Teflon coated blades..

Especially winter blades (even if you live in warm weather).. I use my teflon coated winter blades 365 days a year.. It makes almost 3 years and they wtill wipe ultra clean with no unwanted noises..
