Keeping your windscreen wipers in perfect condition is essential to ensuring good visibility.
To avoid deformation of the brushes, it is necessary to clean them regularly with a glass cleaner. If the brushes are heavily soiled, for example, with insect residue, they should be cleaned with a sponge or a clean cloth.
It is recommended to replace the windshield wipers once or twice a year.
In freezing temperatures, before turning on the windshield wipers for the first time during a trip, you should check whether the brushes are frozen to the glass.
When washing your car automatically, wax particles may end up on your windshield. To remove them, add a wax-dissolving glass cleaner to the windshield washer reservoir.
Filling the fluid reservoir with a glass cleaner with wax-dissolving properties can significantly improve the performance of the wipers. Grease-dissolving cleaners do not clean the glass completely. Damaged brushes, which can cause poor cleaning of the glass, should be replaced.
