I do like Klasse Act's suggestion of using Collinite 520 to clean them, and then apply 303 Protectant afterwards.
My Trico Force wiper blades are almost a year old and going strong. Of course, Rain-X cuts down on their use, but I'm hoping to get a few years out of them using this technique.

Re: 303 Wiper Treatment
I mentioned Collinite #520 more along the lines as a joke but with its cleaning ability and marginal protection left behind I guess it really could be used this way. I don't like the idea of adding a protectant to the wipers, too easy to mix with water on the glass and possibly smear the glass

Re: 303 Wiper Treatment
The best glass stripper and abrasive is GS8 or gs5 no touch glass polish it has such cleaning power it can remove rain x. It also ruined exov3 water behavior. It does not harm clear coat just sealant or wax.

I still think it's a good idea, joke or not (LOL)
As for 303, I apply it lightly, and leave the wipers "up" to air dry for a few hours.....and I do it when I know I'm not going to be driving anywhere for several hours. It's one of those things I do pretty much as the "last detailing item for the day" type of thing and then park the car in the garage overnight. Haven't had any problems yet (fingers crossed). I figure if 303 sold a product specifically for this function, it probably contains the actual protectant and so it probably shouldn't be a problem....

Re: 303 Wiper Treatment
I used regular 303 on a cotton ball on my wiper blades fairly often and they lasted 7 years in the South Texas heat. The rear blade (RAV4) is the original from the factory in 2008. I'd say it works.

Sorry, I just noticed this (missed it somehow - D'OH!)
I haven't experienced any streaking, no. But I do allow it to dry (usually overnight) and dont apply anytime when there's rain in the forecast so the wipers won't be used for several days. But no, no streaking. And I don't use much....a little goes a long way.
