I'm thinking about buying one of these for my car. I want the Storm one with the 'smoove' arm cover and also wash jets built into wiper arm.

Just wondering whos got them and are they any good at wiping the window and also do the washer jets that are built into the wiper arms do the job well enough?

Or am I better off sticking with standard wipers and washer jets on bonnet! I think my bonnet would look better with the jets smoothed off though.

Thanks!

Wash wipe arms are better than the bonnet mounted jets. If you are tall then the single wiper kits are a bit gay...

I know what I think looks best! I wanted to know how well they do their job of wiping and washing the window

Ed - I'm tall so by saying their a bit gay do you mean it wont wipe some of the area that I need to see out of? Cos that would be a bit of pain when its raining hard

You can still see, it's just irritating If you wax the windscreen though you don't have a problem

Looks good.
I polish my windows and the water runs off quite well so a single wiper would probably be ok.

Mine, not a great pic.
P.S ive found the metal 'smoove' covers rot badly within a year, well mine did but might have been a poor powder coat.
