Definitly go with the 17" blades and the RAIN-X. I even apply RAIN-x directly to the blades.
I also use a solution of 50/50 cheap blue stuff / pricey rain-x brand fluid in the resivior.
Now, this is what I have done, not just lame 'you could try' advice.
Polish your windshield with brasso and newspaper. Clean with an annhydrous solvent like ammonia.
this will take the edge off of the 20 year accumulation of pits. Then apply
RAIN-X. use several coats. Do it untill the clean dry paper towel feels like it is
floating on the glass.
For future cleanings, use newspaper only to polish after using glass cleaner before
reapplying Rain-x. Don't forget to clean the blades! I change my blades on all
My vehicles every 6 months. Jan and July. The edges deteriorate just from exposure.
