Know most people think wipers are wiper but I am looking for a pair that actually fit and last longer then 3 months with out smearing when i cut them on. Any one wanna chime in on this?

wiper blades

For years I've had the best luck with the basic cheap Anco blades, like what you find at walmart. The house brands that the parts stores sell all suck and those high dollar blades usually work well, but not THAT well for the price. That's my thoughts.
I've gone to the one piece flex blades like Bosch or better. Cheap ones don't cut it. I've gotten the cheap one sucking right out of the package, specially autozones.

i have noticed that the washer fluid you use has an affect on how long your blades will last as well. if its good at deicing your windshield in under a min with out the scraper or will readaly remove the dryed bug guts faster than if it was fresh hit then your blade life will suffer badly.
I run the pink rain X and it works ok not great ant anything my blades last
but a cheap blade is a cheap blade bosh generaly last me 6-12 months
rain X blades last me 3-4 months, but this is on my cars so there is no mud on the windshield to deal with.

Depends on the condition of your windshield also.
Rain X Latitude wipers and the Rain X washer fluid. The Black truck had the same pair for three years two in Ohio and one year in Colorado. I have them on list for big red. The combo seems to work real well and a lot of time I do not need to use them because the water runs off windshield. The green summer mix and the orange (good to -20) in winter.
My friends that have the garage in Ohio before the one died sold Bosch and would tell people if they did not like the curved ones he would give them another pair free.

Bosch wiper blades, rainx plus rainx orange all season washer fluid
I just buy whatever brand is on sale cheap--the ones by Anco and some other lesser known brands seem to work and last OK for me,mine get used the most in winter,so I get the booted blades if I can...I cant see paying 20 bucks or more for 2 stupid wiper blades --they dont seem to work better or last longer on my trucks..sitting kills them more than daily use too..
I also wipe them down with brake fluid on a towel once in a while,that helps a lot to keep them clean,soft and pliable--silicone spray works too,but makes them smear and chatter.....windshield washer fluid does help dry them out and crack quicker--so does parking with the windshield facing the sun..
