It’s not a matter of even buying the best blades for your car, it’s a matter of making sure that you keep really good blades on your car, clean, in good condition, and to make sure that you replace them whenever they wear out. The problem really is, is that most people really neglect this, and many people put this off. They catch wind of the idea, and then they sort of rationalize putting it off by telling themselves something like, “Well, I’ve got a few more days of sun, and so I’ll get this done later; I’ve got to run errands right now.” Or something to that effect. And then it hits them. Literally. Rain. A sudden downpour, and just then, they realize that their left wiperblade is out. And it’s scratching up the windshield, and doing hundreds if not thousands more in damage than the wiper would have cost to be replaced. Good job.
