Hybrid Tech Wiper Blades
Steve at Advanced Factors asked me to try these new wiper blades by Michelin. They are hybrid technology blades that have a smart-flex design and claim they offer superb performance and better windscreen contact.
Well thanks to the miserable weather we had today I started using them straight away and I have to say they are doing exactly what they say on the pack. Early days, but so far I'm very impressed.

Not sure what make my last ones were, but they didn't hug the windscreen as well as these ones do. As I said early days though. Will keep you posted on how they perform over the next few months.

I've been running these on other cars and on the disco. Best wipers ever : no noise and perfect slide on the windscreen.
Just to be precise, I've been running Valeo and other sub makes. Not tried Michelin, but the concept is good

Yes but if these are what I think, I will drop Bosch, Conti & Valeo, they look the business but just want to be sure.Paul Redding
