Wipers

Blade Inspection

Commercial hot waxes applied at automatic car washes are known to make the windshield difficult to clean.

Contamination of the windshield or wiper blades with foreign substances may reduce wiper effectiveness. Common sources of contamination are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some commercial car washes. If the blades do not wipe properly, clean both the glass and the blades with a good glass cleaner or mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with clean water.

CAUTION - Wiper blades

To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
