Wow, not sure about Baltimore but in Minnesota I'll take any vision advantage I can get. When its freezing rain or the middle of a blizzard I need a blade that will still perform and a washer fluid that will still clear the windshield. I also drive my car in all weather no matter what; its my daily driver. If a product can help keep me out of a ditch or in the trunk of another car I'll take it!

Probably the race car versions, but I believe all street legal cars in the US are required to have wipers.

I wonder if the Rain-x wipers have actual rain-x on them. My windshield guy told me to avoid rain-x at all costs. He said it's impossible to get off and causes a slight haze. On top of that if you need to repair a rockchip and apply heat, it will bubble / turn color permanently.

I picked up a set of the Rain-X latitude wipers a month or so ago.
They work pretty well so far.
Clear in one wipe.
They are Pretty much all the same, if you ask me.
But good so far.

And stay away from the rainX fluid.
I hate it with a passion.
Causes a bad haze on the window as soon as you hit the wiper.
It dissipates after a few seconds but it's annoying and you cant see for a split sec.

Do you understand how their prices are cheap as they are?
