GingerFlame Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Most cars require specific lengths, just Google Wiper Blades for your car :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I reccomend Bosch aerowipe. They're about twice the price of normal blates but they're 100x more effective. My Windows are coated with Carbon Collective glass which is known to cause wiper judder.. which it did. Got some decent blades and the problems gone!

Shadows Entity Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Eurocarparts.... type in your reg and you'll find they're probably cheaper than anywhere else. Definitely don't go in Halfrauds, they charge the same amount for one wiper as it did for me to get all 3 from eurocarparts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianincheshire Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Eurocarparts.... type in your reg and you'll find they're probably cheaper than anywhere else +1 for that. Just make sure you order online, either for collection or delivery, as it's quite often much cheaper than walking into the shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found a demonstration of that Carbon Collective stuff. Is it worth getting and using, or is it just that you wipe your windows less and that's about that? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth getting and using, or is it just that you wipe your windows less and that's about that? :P Its amazing stuff. water just flys off the windscreen under hard acceleration & 30mph+. Washing the car water just sheets off in seconds. quite entertaining with the jetwash. It beads like hell when you're static too. I would say i use my wipers about 80% less now! it lasts 6 months on the windscreen and 8-10 months on the other windows :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1995 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Im debating wether to get some CC wheels & CC paint... I just ordered my windshield CC will defo look into buying the paint and wheel when I get my ST 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 If you're getting the ST brand new, I would get the wheels and paint sealed professionally at one of their approved detailers. That way you know they're protected as best as possible. Look into getting some CC Oracle for your brake calipers, headlights & exhaust tip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 And I assume the six months or so includes time spent washing your car, using screen wash, that kind of thing? It does indeed! That's why the windscreen needs it reapplying before the other Windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukcal Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Oh yeah, what I mean is, it's not that you'll wash the car and end up reapplying to the windscreen immediately afterwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 No it lasts for 6months regardless. Doesn't wash off or get stripped by anything. I basically sets as a solid invisible layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trewithy Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Will it effect the operation of auto wipers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadows Entity Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 If you used carbon collective on paint work I strongly advise you put on the minimum amount at a time in a dust free environment preferably in a garage as I had a bad experience with the stuff and made my old car look awful and you need a machine polisher to get the stuff off. It's not like wax it's more like liquid lacquer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC Glass you apply with an applicator, leave to haze over like with wax, then wipe off the excess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
