Blade Inspection

It is known that industrial hot waxes applied in automatic car washes make the windshield difficult to clean.
Contamination of the windshield or wiper blades with foreign matter can reduce wiper performance. Common sources of contamination include insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some commercial car washes. If the blades do not wipe properly, clean the glass and blades with a good cleaning agent or mild detergent, and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
CAUTION - Wiper blades
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
