    That's a great run for those blades, especially in your climate! I too run Bosch blades on all the cars I've had for some time nowWhat did you do today non-detailing related?What did you do today non-detailing related?

    Would you believe my 2008 Falcon XR6 has the original factory fitted wiper blades?

    I think that proves a well maintained windscreen will help maintain the wiper blades. I've always kept the Qashqai's glass clean, and periodically wipe the blades as well.

    Re: Installed some Conti DWS06's on the RedSport

    Taking care of a known issue on the truck. The HVAC control panel is known to lose backlighting on some buttons. No bulbs. LED. So when this happens, they swap the whole unit out. Ordered it from parts geek today. Dealer price was way out of line. Local shop above me will put the new one in. Figure this was the best approach and save money on it. Cant complain. Took almost 5 years to happen. And currently have only one button out.
