Subject:Re: Wiper blade recommendation?

Well sure I've used Rain-X a few times and it's been very nice. But this
area is pretty arid and unless I'm planning on a drive over the Cascades
in a rainstorm I find applying Rain-X frequently to be a nuisance.

Generally speaking, I get satisfactory performance driving around town
with a good set of blades, but the ones I have are not that good, thus
the Subject is what it is.
