Hi there people 
I want to change my wiper blades but have the normal standard blades and was considering changing to aero blades. I have tried a set of Valeo blades before on my car and they were terrible; juddering all over the place! Lol
Would you keep the standard blades or upgrade to aero blades? If I were to upgrade to aero blades, what are the best make?
Thank you so much

This has been covered hundreds of times before so a search would of found your answer.
But as said Bosch Aero 21/21 will be the ones to go for.

I've had aeros on mine for around a year, got them from ebay and they are really good, they weren't expensive. I noticed a big difference during the winter where normal wipers freeze up and don't cover the screen cause of rigid hinges these don't have the same problem and yes they do look better. I will be renewing them soon though as the weather gets worse, nothing worse than a streaky screen with old rattly wipers.

Don't bother with rain-x .. it scrapes off in stripes then you have to clean screen with a heavy-duty, mildly abrasive cleaner to get the rest off.
Used it for week then chucked it in the bin.
Better to have good wipers!
Haven't tried Bosch on the 206, but had them on the Alfa for years .. 21/21 as Lee says. Clio has Valeo's I think. They've been on for about 4 years, still working well but don't look as good. wiperblades.co.uk might do a discount for us .... otherwise try a google search and it might throw up another discount code (I think I used a Scooby one once )

Rain-X is pretty good,you need to have a really clean windscreen before applying it though,it's also a good idea to give your wipers a clean too
