Finding The Optimum Wiper Blades For Your High Performance Car
High Performance cars tend to be driven by two kinds of people. The first group are people who can afford and enjoy the pleasure of owning a beautifully made and much sought after machine that’s also a fashion statement and a little boy’s dream.
These drivers drive the cars very little, never push the limits of the car’s performance, and emphatically never use them in inclement conditions. However, because the cars are driven very little and infrequently, when they are driven, their owners are often fairly annoyed to discover that the Wiper Blades have, whilst the car has been in storage, deteriorated to the point of being usless.
Even if the cars were fitted with the very finest famous branded rubber Wiper Blades, the Wiper Blades may very well have to be changed even before they’ve seen any action in the rain! This is because even the best rubber Wiper Blades are attacked by the ozone, ultra violet light and pollution in the environment. On top of that, rubber Wiper Blades only have an expected life of between 100,000 and 500,000 cycles.
These owners would undoubtedly benefit from changing to Silicone Wiper Blades, because silicone Wiper Blades are totally impervious to the dreaded ozone, ultra violet light and pollution which together effectively cut down the life of rubber Wiper Blades, even when they aren’t being used.
As these enthusiasts have these cars for pleasure and appearance, most of them would go for Silicone Flatblade Wipers, because these combine fantastic looks and aerodynamic performance with the long life and trouble free service of Silicone Wiper Blades.
The second set of drivers of exotic High Performance Cars are equally as affluent, but have bought the car to use in the extreme setting of motorsport. A good example of this kind of owner would be a competitor in the Porsche Cup or the Aston Martin Heritage Series of races.
For these drivers, aerodynamic efficiency, reliability and exceptionally highly effective wiping at the fastest speeds are all absolutely vital. Additionally, these cars run a much higher risk of fuel or other solvent spillages, none of which will harm Silicone Wiper Blades.
By picking Silicone Wiper Blades, theses enthusiasts can be assured that their Wiper Blades won’t be found wanting when the good old British summer weather shows up at a Motor Race Meeting.
For the ultimate High Performance Windscreen Wiper Blades, many of these owners will go for Silicone Bladed Flatblade Wipers. These unite the aerodynamic efficiency of Flat Blade Wipers with the hard wearing properties and resistance to environmental attack of Silicone Wiper Blades.
Incidentally, Silicone Wiper Blades have a life expectancy of around 1.5 million cycles. That’s 3 – 7 times the life of any rubber Wiper Blades, and unlike rubber Windscreen Wiper Blades, they won’t degrade when not being used. All the more remarkable when you consider that Silicone Wiper Blades are actually cheaper than premium rubber Wiper Blades.
