Freshen Your Wiper Blades

I have had my car more than three years and it still has the original wiper blades.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and there is plenty of rain here.

This is an inexpensive way to restore your blades and save replacement money.

The following procedure will not make them like new but will keep them going if done on a regular basis.

Materials:

some water

one or two clean rags

WD-40

Steps:

Lift up blades away from the glass.

Put some water on one of the rags.

Wipe one blade up and down several times.

You should notice a black residue on the rag.

This is worn rubber mixed with grime.

Let the blade dry.

On a clean part of that rag or another rag spray some WD-40.

Wipe the blade up and down several times.

Let the blade dry.

Repeat the process with each blade, including the rear wiper if you have one.

After all the blades are dry put them back on the glass and you are ready to go.

Repeat every so often when you notice that your blade performance lessens.
