windshield wiper maintenance

**bbt** · September 24th, 2007 07:37 PM

lately ive noticed that my wipers have started to leave a sort of clear smudge that makes my windshield blurry during light rain. i tried cleaning them with a chamois and water, pero parang no matter how long i wiped, andami pa ring grease on the wiper. to the point na naging black na ang yellow chamois ko

anyone got tips for this? how do you guys clean your wipers?

Nangyari na din sa akin yan dati. Kung madalang ka kasi magpunas ng blade, nag-aaccumulate talaga yung smoke/oil/grime sa kanya. Once nga, nakadalawang trapo ako!

Dalas dalasan lang ng konti ang punas ng blade para maiwasan (o kaya palit blade). Iwasan ding mabilad ang blade sa araw lalo kung nakadikit sa salamin. Napansin ko, adding a few drops of liquid dish soap to the reservoir helps pero sabi nung iba mas OK daw kung paminsan minsan ay maglagay na lang talaga ng washer fluid.

since about wipers na din ito... how much ba ang bosch wipers??

I just had my wiper blades replaced this past weekend. They told me that the bosch wiper replacement was around 650+ pesos. Di lang sila makakita ng exact match so refill blades na lang ang pina-install (300 pesos). Sa Ansons Auto Center ito sa Makati.

Pair na. Although you might be able to get cheaper ones at other car shops.

pag nagpalit ka na wiper blade bilihan mo na din ng wiper upper yung pangtukod sa wiper pag di ginagamit para pag nakabilad sa initan car mo di nakasayad sa windshield yung rubber ng wiper mas ma prolong at maging effective yung wiper mo(an dami atang wiper na nasabi ko dito ah)
