6. Wipers

Wipers

Winter brings grime, wet roads and fewer hours of daylight – so it’s the ideal time to check your wipers.

If they are relatively new, make sure they are clean by carefully wiping when you clean the car.

If you need to replace them, our latest test winner is the Bosch Super Twin.

Alternatively, if you prefer the new cutting-edge flat-blade designs, go for Bosch’s Aerotwin. Prices start at around £15.
