I've found the rear wiper pretty handy for keeping some semblance of rearward visibility, especially in the winter months when the back of the car seems to be constantly filthy. It also helps for batting off frost and ice when the heated glass is taking too long.
Plus it's also essential if you have a rear facing dashcam like me. Those water droplets on the rear window can completely block the view

Thanks to those who recommended the Bosch aerotwins- ordered from the amazon link on Saturday £17- arrived today.
Looking forward to some rain.

Gave it a good foaming (thanks for the heads up  'king monkey' on the autoglym offer). Popped my snow-foam cherry!!!


Not sure if it really made a great difference but did look really good!

You’re welcome! I bought two lots.  :grin:

I always wonder if foam makes a difference but if it makes the wash potentially safer, I’m in.

Good effort, did you use axle stands? It looks an easy enough job on a proper ramp but guess it will be much harder closer to the ground!

Which bar did you install? Have you driven it yet?

My goodies arrived today... OBDeleven ultimate pack, an OBDeleven travel cup and my new TCR rear muffler. I hope to have the muffler fitted this week. I'll take a video or two to try capture the sound difference. I know there are a few videos comparing the two but there can always be more!!  :grin:
