When I put oil sa wiper nagiging okay, pero after a while ganun na naman. Is it a problem sa salamin or dun sa quality ng wiper? Thanks!


lorenz,
the most common material used to make wiper blades is neoprene, a rubber like material. the material used for the wiper blades is more of rubber type. just like your prophylactics, you do not use vaseline ( a petroleum product) as this will melt the material and leave residue on your windshield. even if you replace the wiper blade refills, the windshield is coated with the old gum. the best solution for you is to purchase a good set of wiper blade refills and to clean the windshield with "dawn dishwashing liquid R, or with simple green R, or kleenol degreaser whichever is available". if you can not find these products locally, you can use the coffee leftover from your percolator ( we use these on aircraft windshields which are exposed to extreme temperatures compared to your car), let it dry up in ambient temperatures and wipe with paper towel. you can see clearly then
