Genuine wipers only (last for years) as aftermarket ones like Bosch don't have enough tension and need replacing quickly.

Pros: last for years

Cons: not enough tension

Clean first with window cleaner. Then use clay bar with quick detail spray. Clean again with window cleaner, followed up by isopropyl alcohol on a microfiber towel, and new set of wiper blades. Just did this a few days ago and all streaking went away. Crystal clear windshield.

Pros: crystal clear windshield

Cons: streaking went away

I've used the rain-x blades from Costco and the Bosch blades from bimart. Both just the cheapest version they have in stock. Bosch seems to work a bit better than rain-x, though I always get the rain-x windshield washer fluid.

Pros: Bosch works better

I got my EX30 about 4 months ago and the wipers that came with it already damaged from the Dubai heat. Volvo quoted me $150 to replace them, which feels crazy if they’re just the same weak wipers.

Cons: damaged from heat, weak wipers

Vehicle: Volvo
