You're welcome. Also keep in mind that, if the treatment wears off within
six months, they will apply it again, no charge. So, basically, you are only
paying for it once a year. And, it's been over eight months on the second
application, with no discernable difference in performance.

Have you tried putting a small amount of Simple Green Soap into the washer

on the windshield.

bc,
I noticed that several other intelligent posters provided you with the
information that you requested. I just wanted to add that a company called
Bosch has developed a new type of wiper (called Bosch Micro Edge Excell)
that works much better than regular wipers such as those sold by Honda. I
plan to get a pair on my vacation. You can call 1-888-TOP-BLADE for a
retailer or visit this web site: boschusa.com
If you can't get there with the above URL, visit the Google search engine
and type in the words boschusa.com. That's what I had to do to find the
