Since I started using Rain-x, I'm replacing my wipers an average of 3 times a year.
Best product to help reduce that, is coating all your windows, & lights with Rain-X in the yellow bottle. I've used it just before it was sold in Canada (since 1997) & it helps reduce the effects of sandblasting on the windows & lights. Not to mention it greatly reduces your use of using the wipers. it's really cool to see the water & bug guts trailing up your windshield & 120 kp/h :lol: (Rain-X is like 5.99 @ Wal-mart or 6 something at crappy tire)
You only have to apply the product twice a year ( spring & fall ) I'd recommend using the Rain-X washer fluid over regular washer fluid as it help keep the coating on the windshield. It's in a Yellow washer fluid bottle at crappy tire stores for like $3.59 - $ 4.99 it's well worth the money too.
As for either of these products helping fill the chips & that it's not going to do anything about that just help reduce more of it occuring.
I also use a big assed bug deflector, I know it's working because my hood is practically fllwless. ***knock on wood***
