Blade Inspection

~1min read

✽ NOTICE

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

Contamination of the windshield or wiper blades with foreign substances may reduce the effectiveness of the windshield wipers. 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, wash both the window and the blades with a good cleaner or mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with clean water.

CAUTION

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