The Valeo ULTIMATE Wiper Blade, selected as standard equipment by many OEMs worldwide, combines an aerodynamic, low profile with more than 1,500 continuous contact points for improved performance compared to standard or conventional wiper blades. Designed for all-weather/winter use, there are no frame joints or other components that could freeze or become clogged with ice or snow limiting foul weather performance.
When you use the Valeo ULTIMATE Wiper Blade you can expect: |
 | | • | All-weather/winter design offers resistance to cold weather conditions, no icing (metal parts perform better over the plastic parts used in other wiper blade designs) |
| • | High quality performance at all speeds, in all conditions |
| • | Revolutionary aerodynamic design with reduced vibration and judder |
| • | Enhanced aero-acoustics for low wind noise |
| • | User-friendly lock/unlock provided by unique blade attachment |
| • | Ultra flat blade for improved driver visibility |
To create uniform wiping pressure across the entire length of the blade for optimal windshield contact, Valeo's Research and Development Center developed breakthrough Flat Blade Technology. This technology results in a very efficient, ultra-flat wiper blade. An integrated, wind lift spoiler combines with the blade's aerodynamic low profile to help it maintain contact with the windshield to improve visibility, even at higher speeds. In fact, Valeo's European test center speed rated the blades to more than 140 mph.
| The Valeo ULTIMATE Wiper Blade also utilizes Tec-3 Technology: |
| • | Rubber wiping element combines synthetic and natural rubber with a patented, bonded protective coating |
| • | Synthetic rubber upper body provides resistance to permanent set deformity in high temperatures and a superior wipe in all temperatures |
| • | Natural rubber wiping edge provides improved wiping quality and is flexible in cold conditions |
| • | Protective coating reduces chatter and squeaking noise during the life of the blade and makes them last longer than standard blades |

I have been using Valeo wiper blades on all my vehicles for the past 5+ years. Occasionally, I will try another brand of beam-type blades just to see if anyone else has figured out how to do it right. I have yet to find any other brand that works as well, or lasts as long as Valeo. I live in Colorado where we have 4 actual seasons, and these blades work well in all of them. I typically get about 2 years out of a set. Like most wiper blades, they do last longer if you clean them with alcohol 3 to 4 times a year.

I'm not sure how many sets of these I've had now, but I used them exclusively on my last car, my current car, and bought them for both my brothers and my mom. They do provide exceptional quality wiping...at first. However I've always had to replace mine after only about 6 months due to streaking. This was usually ok because the price wasn't too bad, but then with the last set they did away with the buy one get one free deal. In addition to costing more, they don't seem to have held up as well. My last set lasted 7 months through the winter. This set lasted 5 months through a summer where it probably rained all of 5 times. I think I'm going to shop around for other reviews before deciding whether or not to buy these again.

These are the best wiper blades I've ever seen.
Before buying these wiper blades in fall of 2006, I was using OEMs. They typically lasted for 4 months, and it wasn't fun replacing them that often. Finally I've decided to try something more expensive, and after looking at all options at Tirerack I've chosen these, pretty much because they look cool. It turned out to be my best investment ever! I never ever had to change the wiper blades on my car since then. Almost 6 years of use, and only now they've started showing signs of wear. This isn't a result of limited usage: I live in Seattle area, it rains here almost 300 days a year, and I drove over 50K miles since I bought them.
