Well.......the chatter came back and after two "touch up" treatments with the 303 I gave up and bought another new set. This time I bought the Michelin Cyclones and so far so good. But winter is here now so we will see, lol.

In Upstate NY my wiper blades lasted a long time. But here in the Pacific NW something about this area just destroys wiper blades.

Yup, 303 is da bomb.....the guy on the sweet project cars channel recommends to make sure wipers are silicon not rubber. Coupled with 303 and oh yeah before I forget.
When washing windshield, I recommend using barkeepers friend. It will literally polish the glass as it wipes off all known bug debris.
Spray a bit of Rain-X on the glass and then soak the blades with 303 and you're good for a few months.

Looks like we’re in the same neck of the woods. Which brand of wiper blades do you find stand up best to the Texas sun? I’ve tried the expensive Bosch wipers but they don’t seem to last too long. Think I’ll give 303 a shot.

I've bought the Bosch and Michelin wipers for the 4Rnr and are holding up well. About every 3 months or so I'll soak up a sheet of the blue shop paper towels and let the blade soak in it for the duration as I rinse off the vehicle. Also use the barkeepers friend for a sparkling clean windshield.
Yeah I'm in the Shiner area, we do get some sun don't we...lol....

Thanks, I’ll try both the 303 and barkeepers friend!

I've got the same issues, will give 303 a try.

Are others using 303 for an interior protectant as well, or is that the primary use and wipers are just a plus?

I have heard that the Mr. Clean magic eraser does wonders on glass, I'm going to give it a shot along with 303 on my wiper blades. We are supposed to get rain on Turkey day.
