MK2 Wiper blade advice

[demonear]

Troops, bit of a noob question so apologies. Trying to get my car sorted out a bit for winter after finally getting a nightmare water leak fixed and I've noticed marks not only on the bottom left windscreen from the blades but now also from the blades on the right side which is starting to affect my view whilst driving.

I'm assuming the new garage where it had its MOT/Service this year never bothered recommending me new wipers and I want to put some good ones on it but have always just trusted the old Arnold Clark dealer where I'd bought the car new back in 2010 to fit them for me. Best ones to go for and it's mainly for the front blades.

Also does anyone know if I'll be able to do anything about the arcing wiper marks that I have on both lower corners that I mentioned? Any advice would be well appreciated.

Haven't posted here in years but it's good to be back!

Welcome back! I tried Bosch Aerotwins on mine... but they are a universal fit and I could never get them to sit right against the windscreen. So now I just buy Valeos:

Can probably find them cheaper if you shop around though!

+1 on the Silencios, just ordered some new ones as the old Silencios are a couple of years old now. Best wipers I have had.

Yep another vote for the Valeos.

Last set of Bosch wipers I bought started squeaking after not long, was most unimpressed.

Bosch Aerotwin - A099S for me

Cheers guys I've just went for the Silencios from Amazon there but will try the Bosch if there's any problems!

Anyone know how to best git rid of (hopefully minor) scratches left in an arc by my old wipers? Something to buff them out or anything?

Most people don't have halfords trade card so ecp usually come out cheaper to the casual consumer

Bought some Valeo Silencios a couple of weeks ago.
So far, very impressed with them. Direct fit so easy to install and look OE.
Lovely a quiet swipe.
