Are the wipers standard wipers that can be replaced with blades from
any auto parts store?  I'd like a little beefier one here in New
England, the MB one could be a bit better.  

Second question regarding wipers, in hard driving rain, the single
blade doenst do a great job, anyone with a trick to speed it up?

You can try replacing it with Bosch Excel of the same size.

Nothing to speed up the wiper but you can put RainX on the windshield... a
whole world of difference.

You couldn't pay me enough to put RainX on my windshield or anyone else's.
Did it exactly once and it streaked, filmed over with ever swipe of the
blades and I liked to never got it off.

RainX is like heroin. It's fine unless you stop using it then it's
really painful.

Just wax your windows whe you wax your car.  Works better than RainX
and you will not have streaking problems.  Just doesn't last as long.

That does not strike me as sound advice (unless you're being ironic).

Wax on the glass will steak.  Some car washes give you a special cloth to
remove wax from the windscreen if you have used the wax option.

Tiger's right. Bon Ami takes just about everything off glass without
scratching. Try it, you'll like it!

Not at all.  It works great.  I found Turtle Wax wrks the best.   Lasts
for about a Month.

Yuck,  Wax on windows is a mistake and a blight.

The only reason it streaks is because the windshield was not completely free
of oil and grime. Wash it down with wet Bon Ami... will clean everything off
the windshield.
