    hi,

    i have a new set of wiper blades and i am just wondering what causes this windshield streaking?

    yun bang kapag hagod ng wiper e parang bitin pero after a while, nawawala naman yung basa?

    bago na ang wiper blades ko. orig ang pinalit ko from casa, yun lang, ang windshield ko e para hindi nahahagod ng mabuti.

    super linis naman ng salamin ko. ang pang linis ko is mf and the diluted car wash shampoo. ilang beses ko na inulit ganun parin - no improvements.

    as far as gasgas, wala naman akong nakikitang gasgas sa salamin that is possible to contribute to this streaking.

    i'd like to try polishing my glass this time. anong chemical ba ang nilalagay kapag magpopolish ng salamin?

    first off, never buy wipers at the stealers, unless you're uber rich and do not care to save money

    have it changed, test the wipers while at the dealers, so if you're not satisfied ask for another pair and see if the effects are the same. eliminate a defective pair.

    or

    it could be your wipers or glass have lubricants that the rubber blade could not swipe the windows clean

    streaking happens when you have small scratches on your windshield. have it polished or cleaned sa detailer. tapos judder naman when its super squeaky clean haha

    a very common problem. use rubbing compound. better hand buff it using a semi rough surfaced cloth.

    eh pag umuulan po? ang nangyayari po ba sa inyo eh parang may naiiwang basa sa ilang part or lahat ng part ng windshield na kumbaga eh parang "pinunasan" lang? yung pag winipe ng wiper may part na hindi matanggal yung basa..
    kung ganyan po yan, minor water spot po yan, kaya hindi sya ma wipe..suggest ko po try a water mark remover..i use the elevo water mark remover, and it works 100%
    normally nangyayari ang minor water spot (sariling term ko lang yan hehe) kapag naulanan at natuyo ng araw..or kahit na air dry lang basta natuyuan yung tubig ulan..

    pag maganda ang wiper mo hindi dapat may naiiwan unless may probd ang salamin mo. minsan kasi may stain coming from acid rain na hindi natin napapansin. subukan mo punasan ng basahan or chamois makikita mo may naiwan na parang watermarks this could cause streaking or water retention.

    next pag malinis na salamin mo after rubbing it with rubbing compound

    use quality wipers.
