It is recommended to change the wiper blades when stripes remain on the glass after cleaning, because poorly cleaned glass can cause poor visibility and, as a result, accidents. A few practical tips will help you choose your brushes.

Step 1
Frame brushes, bribing with their cheapness, are the most common option, but by no means the best. By virtue of their design, such brushes "dubble" in the cold, and in the snow, they are clogged with sleet, paralyzing the work of the wipers. This problem is partially solved by purchasing frame brushes with a "spoiler" - a plastic cover that prevents snow from entering the brush body and presses it against the glass at speed. In the warm season, frame brushes are also not very pleasing to car owners, emitting an unpleasant creak during operation, poorly coping with glass cleaning, and sometimes leaving scratches on the surface. You should buy frame brushes only in a hopeless situation, and be sure to use models from well-known manufacturers.
Step 2
Frameless brushes have recently been in the greatest demand by motorists, despite the relatively high price in comparison with the frame version. Such brushes last longer, clean the surface well, without leaving streaks on the glass and without creating extraneous sounds. Frameless brushes are less prone to icing and do their job well in cold and wet snow. The design of these brushes allows you to change the rubber strip for cleaning, but often such a replacement turns out to be a waste of money - if the brush stops cleaning, then, most likely, not only the gum has worn out, but also the body itself has weakened, which means that the brush has ceased to provide proper adhesion to the glass. In most cases, frameless brushes produced by well-known manufacturers can be recommended for purchase.
Step 3
Hybrid brushes, which combine a frameless version with a rocker arm and hinge system, last up to 12 months and show the best cleaning results. This is achieved due to the unique design that allows you to achieve maximum adherence to the glass, and the high quality of the materials used in the production of such brushes. The cost of hybrid brushes is high, but they also need to be changed several times less often. Those who do not like to change brushes too often and appreciate high quality are recommended to purchase hybrid brushes.
