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.

Yeah I'm in the Shiner area, we do get some sun don't we...lol....

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.
