Product Information

Full details

The Invisible Glass Ceramic Wiper Blade (CSW18) is designed for drivers seeking superior visibility in challenging weather conditions, from torrential downpours to extreme temperature fluctuations. Its key benefit is the integration of a specialized ceramic coating that simultaneously conditions the glass for water repellency and ensures a long-lasting, streak-free wipe. While it offers high-performance durability, it is important to note that the specialized water-repellent coating requires a short 'break-in' period during the first few uses to reach peak hydrophobic efficiency.

FAQs

Does this blade fit my vehicle?

The CSW18 is designed as a multi-fit blade compatible with almost every vehicle, though you should verify your specific vehicle's required length is 18 inches.

How long does the water-repellent coating last?

The coating is applied continuously during operation as the blade wipes the glass, providing ongoing protection as long as the blade is in use.

Can I use this in freezing winter temperatures?

Yes, the advanced silicone rubber compound is engineered specifically to remain flexible and prevent ice buildup in sub-zero temperatures.

Why does the blade make noise the first time I use it?

A short break-in period is normal as the blade deposits the initial layer of the Aqua-RPL water-repellent coating onto the glass surface.

How often should I clean the wiper blade?

For optimal performance, wipe the blade edge with a clean, damp cloth every few weeks to remove accumulated road grime and grit.

Troubleshooting

Blade chatter or skipping across the glass

Clean the windshield thoroughly with a glass cleaner to remove residual road film or wax buildup that may be interfering with the ceramic coating.

Visible streaking during operation

Check the blade edge for stuck debris or hardened winter salt and wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

Blade lifting at highway speeds

Ensure the blade is correctly seated in the mounting arm and that the Windbeater airfoil is facing the correct direction to capture wind force.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retains flexibility in extreme temperature shifts
  • Reduces noise and friction through ceramic lubrication
  • Improves road visibility via active water beading
  • Resists UV and ozone damage for longer service life
  • Prevents blade lift during windy highway driving

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for optimal water-repellent coating application
  • May be more expensive than basic rubber alternatives
  • Performance depends on a clean initial windscreen surface

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the 18-inch CSW18 blade is straightforward due to its multi-fit mounting system. Before installing, clear the windshield of any debris or contaminants to ensure the blade can lay flat. When replacing old blades, be careful not to let the bare wiper arm snap back against the glass. To maintain the life of the ceramic coating, clean the wiper blade edge periodically with a soft cloth and warm water to remove road salt or grit. Avoid using solvent-based cleaners on the silicone rubber, as these may damage the specialized protective compounds.
