    I purchased new Michelin Rain away wiper thingies. They work awesome and come with a polish. wax on wax off. Windshield got cloudy..scary. Tried to wipe it all off and got cloudy again. Run new wipers for 5 minutes DRY. This breaks them in to the contour of your windshield. Let sit overnight. Morning, cloudiness gone and rain is terrified of this stuff. They have them for LX's but I had to purchase them for my wife's Jeep. Buy them, you won't be disappointed. I think they're called Michelin Reflex with Rain something or other. lol. If you do try these, we all expect an in-depth how to install thread with an OBJECTIVE review and product comparison...oh and I'd like to see Dyno sheets to using SAE smoothing 5 please. Thank you.

    Will do. We all love objective testing hehe. Can I drive though? And you're right, the word objective is subjectively annoying me too! :yawn:

    These are the same ones that came on my Cayenne and they did not move one bit when I hit 160 in the Jeep, plus they look pimp and you lose all that metal that was needed to hold on the stock blades

    They must have changed the design, then... I had a Porsche Cayenne about 1 month after they came out. And the wipers did look like that.... But, the first time I got caught in a rain storm, and turned the wipers on, they BOTH flew right off the truck! :wallbash: You should have seen my fat ass in a suit, running down the side of the highway in the pouring rain, chasing after my windshield wipers. :prop: It's funny now.... but, needless to say, I was a bit upset then. :locked:

    Then this same test will have to pass the "Quick" and "GotStroke" muster debate...

    By that he means ass banging until you're unconscious.
