For what it’s worth m, I have Exoshield- and I caught a rock a few days back and now it’s from wiper to roof crack. If you do go exoshield get the extra $200 insurance for free replacement and replacement of glass up to $1k. Personally I would have been able to repair had I not had the exoshield
I just got a chip in mine even with exposhield. Shoulda got the exoshield insurance but opted out. I certainly don’t wipe down my blades very often. Only when I wash the truck and maybe every other month or so. No adverse effects so far. No etching, marks or anything except for the chip.
Yeah once it cures the material is extremely hard, I don’t recall the exact rating but it’s impressive- not soft like you’re implying. Windshield wipers will not degrade the material. I got the exo-shield and yeah I like to challenge bullshit talk that has no merit.
