Mine didn't come with any "glass cleaner".

I use rain x on the rear glass though.

Glass cleaner = Rain X or similar
Wipers that coat windscreens in silicon = Bullsh1t
Are they any better than Bosch + rain X = No they are worse because you will still have some Rain X left to top up the beading effect
