Wipers

[The Big Yin]

Had a discussion woth my mate today as my wipers are doing my head in screaching whenever i use them My mate told me he uses vinyl and rubber stuff by autoglym on his wipers and he said he gets a better wipe because of this and never gets a noise

Anyone else done it

Try using some Rain-X on your windscreen. Need to use your wipers far less as the Rain-X acts like a wax and water justs flies off the window at 30mph+ and wipers glide over far better.

Wilkinsons do it for about £5 a bottle.

I used rain X and used to get serious clouding at night... autoglm glass polish sorted it out.

Rain x is good stuff driving in rain at night , over 30mph ish you don't need your wipers , halfrauds stuff is the same price but a bigger bottle .

Also tried this , when i AG super resin polished my car i did the windows , as well as lookin very clean the water just blew off similar to rain x

Polish the front screen and clean the blades with Autoglym Glass Polish here.

^^ Same here, AutoGlym glass polish the windscreen and glass, wipers move very smoothly and silently across the glass. Water on the side windows glides off more easily too with the wind.

You didn't get Halford's own brand did you? They suck ass big time.

At last someone who answers the question Its safe to apply polish to theblade and does actually work - get some AG tomorrow Thanks r-jay

I've got that stuff in the garage. Didn't think you were safe to put anything on the wiper blades? Dunno whether to risk it or not as I do alot of driving for work and ca't risk wipers not working right due to speeds done

The bottle used to say to use it to clean you screen and wiper blades. Will check my current bottle later.

I wipe the cloth I have used to apply the product to the screen across the blade, then wipe the blade again with another clean cloth. Works fine here,

You can also use vineger to clean them aswell... according to the Autoglass advert on the radio at the moment!

what about piaa silicon wiper blades?

Vinnegar works really well to get all the crap off and then use the AG glass polish.
