there are ones that move across the windscreen from side to side, they usually do the trick :)

nah, doesn't really matter IMO, theres all this fancy testing done on windscreen wipers, but it comes down to preference

ive seen the silicon ones work as well as kmart/supercheap/auto1 ones

Just bought some dual blade replacements from supercheap the other week... awesome... The last ones I used were genuine Nissan from my brother and the dualies are heaps better. They aren't massive things either so they don't look ugly.

Why have one when two is twice the fun!?!

Dude have you tried them?

What I was trying to say is Ive used the BigW ones, only to find that 2 weeks later they get noisey and dont wipe as nice. I made this mistake a few times trying different blade types.

The Nissan ones I have now have wiped the same way when I bought them 6 months ago.

I buy the cheap ones and complain loudly every ime i use them and realise i forgot to change them 3/6/9/12 months ago!

lol my friend got gyped by the pakaging of this $20 wiper "high silicon content" it's clear look like those silicon glue....he put it on, squeaked like mad...laughing my arse off

I think it's really a dried up moulded silicon glue

the best are still bosch spineless oems. The ones that european cars like merc, bmw, volvo, etc, use these days. You know... the flexi kind that has no backbone. Those are wonderful.. but expensive. And you need to modify your assembly to get it to fit. And i love Rain X. I haven't stopped using it since i started years ago.

    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol
