What size of windscreen wiper blades do you use?

Currently I have a set of Neoform (1x20" NF500 & 2x18" NF450) installed but I don't think you can get these anymore and I'm not even sure the sizes are 'stock'.

Been trying to find what the OEM sizes are as I'm looking for a set but I'm not paying 80 for a set of OEMs...

I measured mine a while back and I use 20” passenger and 21” drivers at the front and 19 inch at the rear, although I think the stock size is 18 inch. It’s not an issue though if you use a slightly larger size, if your wiper blade is more flexible and can contact the window fully.

I use Bosch Aerotwin retrofit wipers on all cars, they’re great and are about £10 each on eBay.

Holy moley batman! £80 is pure madness for a set of wiper blades. I am not tight but I wouldn't spend more than a £10 for a set of blades and most of the time less. I have never seen any difference between an expensive or cheap wiper blade which is just a thin strip of rubber at the end of the day, regardless of how much techno jumble they throw at you.

To really give yourself superior wiping ability, use car glass polish or water beading spray like rainex, this is a far better use of your money and will yield better results. I do this on the supra and on my daily where I do 10k+ miles a year, never had a problem in any kind of rain, clearing dirt off the windscreen or the blade not making full contact with the screen.
