The Importance of Winter Wiper Blades and Glass Treatment
Snow, ice, freezing rain, and frigid temperatures make winter driving treacherous; nevertheless you're prepared, right? But what about your wiper blades?
If they're the same ones that baked on your windshield all summer then you could be in for problems. How do you know if your wiper blades are any good? At no time of the year is seeing out of your windshield more important, and more difficult, than in winter. Quality wiper blades should evenly and effectively squeegee water out of their path in both directions no matter what speed you're going. Soft rubber compounds necessary for wiper performance are always under attack by road grit, the sun, acid rain, tree sap, ice, and especially winter salt. Arm your car or truck with Rain-X Glass Treatment and Rain-X wipers.
Rain-X Latitude 8-In-1 Wiper Blades are the ultimate blades for sleet and snow. Unlike conventional wiper blade frames, the Latitude's beam design won't collect ice and snow, which can freeze conventional frames to the point where the blade no longer contacts the windshield. With Latitude blades you won't have to interrupt your trip to clear ice and snow from wiper blade frames, only to have them freeze again. You can check the presentation of this product here:
Rain-X® - Latitude™ Wiper Blade
Another wiper blades Rain-X offers are Weatherbeater™ 22" Wiper Blade.
Rain-X® - Weatherbeater™ Wiper Blade
Also Rain-X develops a line of related glass care products. Because Rain-X Glass Treatment requires the glass surface to be perfectly clean, Rain-X X-treme Clean is the perfect glass cleaner. It removes dirt, grime, and bugs, plus build-up that other cleaners leave behind, from glass and clear plastic. Rain-X 2-In-1 Glass Cleaner not only cleans, it also applies a rain repellent to improve wet weather driving. Click

rainex will only work for a short time with regular blades. then they will skip, and the rubber will leave marks on the windshield. i have rainex blades on one car, and while they are ok, the piaa blades are far better, and will outlast them by years.

keninn, thank you for sharing your experience. Streaking is one of common wiper problems and it occurs when the rubber squeegee dries, hardens and cracks. It can also be caused by tree sap, road tar and other foreign substances collected on either the glass or the blade. To prevent this you need to clean your windshield every time you fill your gas tank; gently wipe the rubber squeegee with a damp paper towel to remove any loose dirt or oil. And make sure to check wiper blades every six months, to inspect them frequently and enjoy the view!

As an Oregonian for 17 years, I apply Rain-X on my windshield twice a year and it really helps. When it's fresh, I don't even need to use the wipers as 35mph or greater and the water just flies right off. I usually use the neoform blades by Trico I believe, but I have used the Rain-X brand too and I have nothing bad to say about them.
