I've recently replaced both front and back blades, as the back one had split and the front were smearing. I bought Bosch from carparts4less.co.uk for £3.48 for the rear and £8.04 for both front, including p & p which I thought was a fair price and they work fine with no smearing. ;D

I think this is a strange topic as I had bosch areotwins but I did not get on with them, yet (beezageoff) yours cost a tenth of the price of my Mazda genuine ones and you have no smearing.. even now my Mazda ones can smear every so often.

I just started to use dish washer rinse aid in my jets it seems to be preforming well.

Before I replaced my wiper blades, I cleaned the windows with some vinegar which helps get rid of any oily residue on the screen. That might well be why I don't get the smear affect.
