Checking the condition of the brushes
Note: Hot industrial wax applied at automatic car washes is known to make windshield cleaning difficult.
Contamination of the windshield or wiper blades with foreign substances can reduce the effectiveness of the wiper. Common sources of contamination include insects, tree sap, and the hot wax used in some commercial car washes. If the blades are not cleaning the glass well, wash the glass and blades with a good quality detergent or neutral cleaner, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Caution: To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene, solvent or other solvents near them.
Replacing brushes
If your windshield wipers are not cleaning the glass properly, it may mean that the blades are worn or damaged and need to be replaced.
Caution: To avoid damaging the wiper arms, do not attempt to move them manually.
Caution: Using wiper blades that do not meet the requirements may cause the wipers to malfunction and fail.
