This might suggest that far too many people believe the marketing of products. many things in life are made in the same factories .Just different boxes and prices. But it makes us happy to think we have spent more !!

Nice to see PIAA did badly, Their bulbs are pure rubbish also

I adopt the attitude that good wipers are not going to be good unless you wipe them down often, use good screen wash and Polish the screen often .
I do like rain clearing products to apply on the screen. Good on the motorway !

Disagree my PIAA blades are ace, have used them on both our cars for the last 4 years (each set lasts at least 2 years) & the coating they put on the screen meana you don't have to use them much.

The PIAA Debate was done to death on Scoobynet for years . The bulbs will not last long at all And the test here agrees that they are not very good at all. The blades are ok but not for the money !

If you like them ,so be it , It still does not change the fact how badly they did in not only this test but many others. They are poorly made with good marketing
