I`ve used Decosol as long as I can remember. I`ve tried all sorts over the years but always stuck with Decosol! Steve. |

Use Gtechniq G5 or Rain X on your screen. The water blows off. An occasional flick wipe with the wiper is all you need at lower speeds. I have been using it for years & don't know the last time I used screen wash or replaced wiper blades. The only annoying thing is when the car comes back from service they leave a bottle of screenwash in the car as they cant top it up |

I got some of that but haven’t used it yet! How’s it best applied? Cheers Laurence. |

I use Halfords' screen wash, usually the -10degC one. Seems to clean well.

Make sure your screen is clean. You can clay bar it & wipe with panel wipe. Give the wiper blades a clean too. This may be a bit OCD & you don't have to do this but the main thing is to make sure your screen is clean.

Been using it for years and never had a problem. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

How do you find the Bosh blades? They work well for me but I get annoyed as the driver side just touches the A pillar at the end of its stroke and makes a tapping noise. The reason appears to be the cap on the end which makes it wider than the original. When I get chance, I need to see if the cap is practical or simply for aesthetics. 2012 5.0 SC AB Mods: TPMS Genuine LR DRLs Remote Boot close from key fob 2016 Discovery 4 Mirrors AKA RRS2 2014 L405 Surround Camera retro fit (WIP) 2013 RRS Dual View Screen fit (Complete) 2016 LR4 RSE 2014 LR4 Homelink 2016 FFRR Electrochromatic Wing Mirror Glass 70 plate Focus ST (Current) 1942 VEP Ford GPW Jeep (Willys) (Current) 1943 Whites M16 Halftrack (Current) 16 plate Eurofighter Typhoon, 2 x Eurojet engines with 20,000lbs thrust each. 1380mph |

Unipart screenwash is good in my experience and bosch blades seem to last reasonably well. |

Personally I found the Bosch ones crap and noisy so binned them and fitted some Michelin Stealth one's instead.

Maybe you had a bad pair, or perhaps I've just been very lucky with the last half a dozen sets of bosch's ? Quietest I've ever used and no smearing. Downside is they can lift a bit if going 3 figure speeds. |

You need to clean your screen properly before applying anything or deciding on screen wash.....using 0000 wire wool. It`ll be like a new screen. Steve. |

+1 for Bosch Aerotwin blades. Just fitted another set to mine for the MOT. Never had an issue. Even managed to get Halfords to price match Amazon (they priced £19 per blade and matched to £13 per blade) |
