I used to have halfway decent luck with that pink waxy stuff that you
rub on and swear at. Have had better luck with JC Whitney silicon
blades...and just unjamming the blades before putting the thing in
gear.

Re: Wrangler Winter Wiper Blades
I picked up a pair of blades at AutoZone a few week ago & inside along with each blade
was a little package that looked sorta like a handi-wipe & it's labeled Optimizer - (Clean
rubber wiper element with the Optimizer pad to increase & prolong wiper performance.)
I threw them into the cup holder & forgot about them till now.

And better fill washer with etanol-based fluid, I have usually 1/1.5
ethanol/water mix to get below -20C. Helps to keep the normal blade
clear of ice and the blade's spring system working. I am using normal
Bosch blades. Plus you get healthy odor inside vehicle :-)
Some friends have gotten small chases (cuts) into windshield. When
wipers come to rest position, the cut helps to clear extra clog from the
blade.
