The PIAA Super Silicone blades are made of silicone rubber, that way on every wipe it coats the windshield with silicone. This helps to wipe the water at slow speeds and when your at high speeds most of the water will wipe itself out. This feature alone makes the PIAA Super Silicone a pretty interesting wiper blade.

How to Select the Best Windshield Wipers

One of the most important pieces of our nowadays car is without a doubt the windshield wipers, they help us keeping and maintaining our visibility while we drive under rain, snow or even dirt. So we always want to choose the best windshield wipers in order to keep our driving experience safe and without having to worry that rain might make our driving experience pretty uncomfortable. In this article, I’m going to give you few hints on how to choose the best windshield wipers, it may seem hard but it’s pretty easy when you know what your looking for.

The variety of different blades for our windshield wipers range from windshield wipers with fins, heated windshield wipers blades, silicone windshield wipers blades, frameless beam blades, etc…It’s a pretty big list if you know what I mean.

There are a couple of points that might help to make easier the task of choosing the best windshield wipers for yourself, firstly you should go for yourself, what I mean is don’t follow what other people might recommend you, sure they might tell you that their windshield wipers are working great, that they were cheap and all that, but will you have the same experience? Sure if you both got the same cars, if you treat your cars the same way and if your driving routes are the same, in all the other cases it won’t work as good as it did for your friend. It’s important that you know what you want and what your requirements are.

So I already give you a few tips on what you should remember when looking for the best windshield wipers, your driving routes, the climate in your area, this is the most important factors.

Another point you should consider is to choose a windshield wiper where you can easily change some of its parts, for example, if it snows you your area you will need to have 2 different pairs of blades, one for snow and the other one for rain, so you will go for a windshield wiper were you can just get there and change the blades in a couple of minutes instead of changing the whole windshield wiper.
If you live in a place with a sensible climate you probably can get an all-weather wipers, this is the most common windshield wipers, but if you live in area with a really hot climate probably the best windshield wipers for you would be the UV resistant ones, so don’t forget to mention the climate you face when your talking to the seller.
