I brought some new Bosh Supers from Halfords on Saturday.
As note, if you have a spoiler on the drivers side arm, check where it is fitted. Having looked in the Halfords guide and remembered my Scooy has a spoiler, I brough the arm with the spoiler. When fitting, I the noticed the spoiler is fixed to the wiper arm, not the carrier and I had to take the Bosch spoiler off.

If you're going over fifty mph, just treat the screen with Rain Wizard, and you won't need your wipers.
(shocking pink bottle, shaped like a vibrator.....errrr apparently)
6 quid from car accessory shops. As I said, you won't need to turn your wipers on, as the raindrops just roll up and over. Even at slower speeds, the wipers seem to work better, as the rain water miniscusises[1] better, and gets cleared easily.
[1]made up scientific sounding word for goes in to big blobs.
I will never have a car without using it again.

I need to change my wiper blades, what's the general sense of opinion, stay with genuine Subaru at £?? (just spent 10 minutes on hold waiting for a price! Sod em) or go for something else. I thought I had a review in AutoExpress that recommend some Bocsh ones, but cannot find it.

I have just put two Bosch blades on with the spoilers and at motorway speeds they still leave the screen. Anyone have another alternative which actually works in the rain at pace??
