The Focus is not the only vehicle fitted with a frameless design wiperblade.

Yeah, I think they're starting to change the look now, my manufacturer reckons it makes the new cars look more 'futuristic' what do you think??? Personally, I think they look better on older cars...
We also supply the 'Bufori' car manufacturer in Malaysia with our wipers....I guess me approaching Ford & Holden now, would be out, if they've already got em... Oh well, regardless, I can still offer it to the general public if they want it... |

You do realise if you buy as a group, I can sell it to you at 'Dealers Price' not the RRP...

As suggested I shall trial a set on the Mustang given that it is in need of new blades anyway but I will pay for them as a matter of course.
I gather we have some rain coming up by the look of the longer term forecast so that should server as a reasonable test. Cheers Russ

Fantastic....the more rain the better, sometimes, you won't need your wipers on at all (not recommended though hehe) cause when the water beads up, it just spreads up to the top of the windscreen and gets blown away...
What sizes do you need??? |

Wipers sound like a good idea...ИИИИing ammojammo off to woofer land or wherever he belongs sounds better....

I'm in Brizzie, and I feel kinda bad bringing in this new product out right now, cause the slogan for the 'Twister' Spoiler Silicon Wiper Blade is: TWISTER...Wiping everything in it's path... :(
But I wasn't to know that we were gonna get a cyclone...... |

How do they perform in sub zero temps, as in oberon we have snow as well as minus degree temps, all other ones have failed each winter and are continually buying them
Sounds great if you can offer longetivity as well as a performer. Cheers Kevin

I'm in for the group buy. Wipers are one of those things I've had a love/hate relationship with for a long time and I'm always looking for the best set avaliable. For under $50 its a small price to pay.

Here is a picture of the 'Twister' Spoiler Silicon Wiper Blade with the 3 year warranty I've been talking about, (that's a picture of the packaging as well) We package our wipers in a cardboard box, not clear plastic packaging, as that is more expensive (to the consumer) and we try to skimp on costs where we can, but not on the "Quality of the Product"
Then again, if you want to pay an extra dollar for clear plastic packaging, then we can do that too ;) (Sorry, I haven't taken any pics of them on my car)

I have found that I have to use the multi blades on my car to get a good sweep of the water off the windscreen and have also used rainex, the standard type blades do not work very well.
Do these work as good as the multiblades?

As has been mentioned before,its hard to find a decent blade thats not going to crack and streak after 2 months so hopefully these will turn the hype into reality.
Aus is there a website you could PM me with where there is some feedback from people who have tried these blabes overseas please. NC

In answer to a few of your questions:
'I' myself personally have never used the multiblade at all, however, the hydrophobic feature has to be seen and experienced to be believed...I am only giving my own personal experience at what these blades can do... As it rains, the water forms crystal droplets (like using water repellent products) and as you drive, you can see the water rise to the top of the windscreen and blow away... Driving at night you will find these blades unbelieveable, if I could I would've sold every set I had by now, but unfortunately I can only sell to retailers/stockists/distributors ***IF YOU ARE A RETAILER PLEASE TAKE NOTE: We are prepared to do our own marketing on the 'Twister' Brand to make our brand known, we do not expect you to market our products for us, we will pay for advertising; we do promotions; giveaways but first we need to get stockists/retailers to take it in so we can send customers to you*** |

Msg to heljas: At the moment we only make the wipers to fit 'J' or hook type arms, unfortunately if you have a truck, bus, tractor etc, the actual attatchment is sometimes different than cars.
If you just do general maintenance on your blades ie: wipe them free from accumulated dirt etc they will outperform anything else currently available on the market, and if you do get a build-up of mud; cow manure; etc on your windscreen then it will be easier to clean. Look after your blades, and they will look after you. I hope this helps. |

UPDATE: Just got off the phone with my manufacturer, if you do a group buy then the minimum is 50 cars, also you will get a 5% discount off the total order.
Also, if there is a demand we will bring out the 'Twister' Storm Series Frameless Wiper Blade NOW!!! instead of later, FYI our 'Twister' Storm Series Frameless Wiper Blade also comes with a 3 year manufacturers warranty!!! ***Hope this helps***
