To bad we can't see the back of that package to see the ingredients, any idea what they are?303 used to make a treatment for wiper blades.
303 Wiper Treatment - Priced Each - (NO LONGER AVAILABLE)
Stop squeaking and skipping wiper blades!www.ecstuning.com
My guess is regular 303 in single use packs. I got them from 303 about a decade ago as a sample promo I think.To bad we can't see the back of that package to see the ingredients, any idea what they are?
I have seen a good number of YouTube videos about using WD40 on wiper blades to help them stay in better shape, longer!
Q's:
Has any member here at Bob's actually tried WD40 for cleaning/conditioning your wiper blades?
If so, how were/are the results?
I've been using CRC Heavy Duty Silicone on my blades with great results. I call this CRC a dry silicone(evaporates) as it DOES NOT stay wet & oily like a spray lube such as a Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster type of silicone product.
I am getting good results with the CRC as it cleans well and keeps the blades in good shape much longer than nothing at all. Also, I don't experience any streaking/smearing on the glass in any weather condition. And I am concerned that WD40 may cause that smearing when I need the wipers most. And we experience all conditions here in the north east.
There is no real reason for me to change from what I am doing by using the CRC however, I am curious if WD40 may in fact be the better, more optimal product.
Comments
I have used Aerospace 303 on the blades rubber to keep them preserved.
It extended my wiper blades life when I lived in Tampa, FL.This: it protects the rubber from UV breakdown. Wipers last a lot longer for me here in sunny Florida.
Thanks!I have never cleaned a wiper blade in my life unless the spray wand at the self service car wash counts. I do notice that the OP mentions Aquapel and no one else has commented on that. I use Aquapel and carry a spare applicator in my glove box. It's good stuff. In my opinion, Rain-x is only for people who haven't heard of Aquapel. May I humbly suggest to the OP to try PIAA Silicone wiper blades? My 22" blades are PIAA $60 a set. The naysayers can scoff all they want; my wiper blades are now 6 years old and do not streak, hop, skip or jump. I'm not into replacing blades every six months.
Between regular applications of Aquapel and my PIAA wipers, I've been in torrential downpours where semis are pulling off the road, and I can see clearly. Above 40 mph, I generally don't even need my wipers.
Very interesting, I’ve never heard of any of the products or techniques you use to make your wipers last six years.I have never cleaned a wiper blade in my life unless the spray wand at the self service car wash counts.
