What I found with Valeo wipers was first few months was excellent but they quickly degraded. The rubber felt slightly more compliant than that on a Bosch blade.

My problem with the valeo blades was from new out of the box. It's a company vehicle so I have no say in what's fitted and the company is run by bean counters.
