Windscreen Wipers

[GTR-80Y]

Just wondering if there was any way to get them to work like new. I tried replacing the blades but they still streak and shudder across the window. I HATE IT! Anyone know if those window treatment things work? I want them to work as good as mums new saab!:lol:

though i do worry about the wain

HI There,

I find dabbing some petrol on a rag and wipeing it along the tip's of the blade makes them work like new......

No harm to the blades works a charm...

I hate it as well mine do it to..

Cheers

Robo, would that shorten the life of wiper? They're not much I

know, but i'm just curious.

[Robo]

From what I was told no. Cause that's what I said to the mechanic...

[Guest Boxhead]

hhmmm.. thats a good idea, now where do i get some petrol from.. ahhh i know,,, the lawnmower.. did anyone know which petrol works best???

also.. this is sorta off topic but not.. my mate told me that if you wipe yoru windscreen with newspaper and say windex, or glass cleaner, it will leave no marks.. so yeah, next time i was the car which willbe in months.. i will do that.

[TSTG33R]

yeah that's true, the newspaper thing..

There's some chemical on newspapers that for some reason makes them good for cleaning windows. I clean inside the windows with newspaper and water, works a treat!

[GTR-80Y]

Are you sure its the chemical in the newspaper?? i thought any fine paper will do.....like the little packs you can get for cleaning eye glasses.

Will try some petrol, but i think the trouble might be deeper than the blades. Any one used the windscreen products you apply to the glass, meant to make water bead off really well.

[XrSiSt]

Loz.. Its pretty much just like wax for your windscreen.

[Guest]

yeah once i used the beading glass cleaners and it worked beautifuly

[Bozz]

My R31 did that and I bought brand new wiper arms from Nissan, they are absolutely as good as new now. There was a lot of slack in the arms which I believe was causing the shuddering. The springs were quite a bit firmer too.

[_turtle_]

it really helps if u use some sort of windscreen product to clean it which makes the water bead. similar to wax for the windscreen. then the water just wooshes off

after i had my car detailed the windscreen wipers worked a treat coz the water would just bead on the windscreen and the wipers just cleared it off.

[GTR-80Y]

Will try the wax/beading treatment, if all else fails then new wiper arms sound like the go. This just means more of the car i gotta wax now!

[XrSiSt]

We know u want to with all the Mine's stickers on it now.

Post up some pics Loz!

GTR-80Y waxes like no other :uh-huh:

Silicon Blades.

Clean the Window, and I mean clean it, recommend Metho and Paper towel.

and finally RainX.

[funkymonkey]

rainX is good *****... the guy at repco intro'd me to it, used it ever since, also use this compound which you add to the water reservoir and it prevents streaking, fogging and improves beading (for extra measure) but my wipers are long gone, and the leave trails all over. (not that I have to use em coz the water jus slides off)

update: the supplier I was going to buy from only wished to sell the board if I bought his tuning data with EVERY board. Which pushed the price to over $300/board.

So now I have ordered a board from www.grid.co.jp and hopefully can have it installed before December.
