you can buy these wiper stands at most car accessory shops. cost ranges from P80.00 to P400.00

ok. first things first. true i agree with their tips and suggestion. may i ask, is your ride already giving you some problem this wet season? well, apparently that has been my dilemma until recently i discovered how to take care of the wiper.

wiper blade is made up of rubber, thus here in a tropical country it has always the risk of getting these rubbers to crack or lose its effectivity. this is because of the humidity here in the Philippines. i should admit, even if i don't really park my ride under the scorching heat of sun, i always find my wiper after awhile malfunctioning. there are two theory here: one either that the glass is too clean since the wiper is too effective. another is that the wiper has lost its moisture thus making it stiff. solution, apply a moisturizer. i personally use the 'something better' its good.

ano yang 'something better'?

from my experience. just by a good set of widpers. bocsh tropical or NWB. I use NWB. it would last me 2 to 3 years. i use to use the wiper stands but took them out cuz eventurally i forget to set them again. and i notice that i will still have to change them.

when you clean your car. just wipe your blade with your damp rag. avoid cleaning the blades with detergents.

dont use laudry soap in your windshield washer. it will harden your blades sooner. mix water with dishwashing soap. its milder and won't harm the rubber.

safe ba sa car paint yung dishwashing soap mixed with water?

[mintoy]

i havent had a situation na nasira ang car paint dahil sa dishwashing soap. infact i use dishwashing soap to clean my whole car pag puro putik sya. so far so good.

I use NWB also and swear by its effectiveness. used to use Bosch but they soon skip, jump and grab. Now I always look for NWB and change them before every rainy season. problem is that I have a hard time looking for the 12 incher for the windshield wipers of the Samurai and for the rear wiper of the Safari

Yung sa washer naman, some of say that hair shampoo is good but there are aftermarket windshield-washer specific products like Rain-X washer fluid, as well as Holt's and even Turtle wax available. they claim to have some ingredients that help in keeping the windscreen clear and wipers chatter-free.

Siguro if you dilute the dishwashing liquid more than usual, there shouldn't be any problems.

There's small accessory shop in Banawe that has the 12 inch wiper that you need, same side with Jaffas & Jetcar (I forgot the name of that particular store). NWB brand, I think I bought one at around 100 each.
