Stretching a bit with the fuel economy angle though.

[MR MISTER]

Can you leave it on overnight so that birdshit won't stick?

[chrisgixer]

Never see Kapoo on a planes windscreen, Mr Esta.

[chrisgixer]

I thought it might be a wind up, given planes move so much faster, but no. Its on several web sites.

See how it gets on with snow. (not that we get much of that, before cem starts )

Sounds good, no more wiper and motor noise, no regular blade replacement, adjustments to wiper arms to stop juddering, smearing or fine scratches that dazzle at night. I wonder if they can be retro fitted?

[Sir Tigger KC]

Opti will be pleased! He gets through wipers like no tomorrow!!

For £10, I guess so.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I can't believe that anything from McClaren would only cost £10.

I use 'RainX' on my windscreen, very effective (albeit above 50mph) the rain just beads off the screen.

Not an end to wiperblades per se, but will prolong the life of the rubber over time.
