not that i've noticed, it wears off after a while. It's definitely more useful if you do more highway travel, not that great at slower speeds.

^^^ agreed. i haven't noticed a film...but, where the passenger wiper stops in the middle of the windshield, i have noticed it leaves a mark...like all the water seems to track down it, and when viewed up close, it seems like it's depositing something...dirt maybe?

always wondered how to clean it...that is if anyone knows wth i'm talking about...

that's why you have to clean your wiper regularly! it'll actually restore the ability of the wiper.........

you can use watered towel or u can also use rain-x to clean the wiper......it's really working.... =)

Rain X is great. All you need to do once you're done is wipe your windshield down with water and a paper towel after it dries. No streaking no buildup no wipers needed

That sucks man, you should try adjusting the tensioning springs on the wiper arms because I got 21.9 rwhp and 15.6 ft.lbs of torque.

Just use glass cleaner. I use bosch wiper blades, not really a preference, but they work cheap and work great!
