ioneabee Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 My windscreen is being left with 2 streaks - 1 on the drivers side and 1 on the passenger side - on the return stroke. I've replaced the wipers - still there I've scrubbed the window with shampoo and AG Glass Polish - still there I've used rainx - this helps because the wipers run less suggestions on what else to try and clean the window please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Clay and clean with vinegar or Coke. Coke that's an expensive window clean! Last tip - replace the windscreen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldcrest Four Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Methylated spirit; clean the screen and wiper blades. It is very affective, you will be surprised how muuch dirt/grease comes off new wiper blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Andrex with virgin olive oil always works well for me........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Try claying it, if that doesn't work then try vinegar, if that still doesn't work try an IPA wipe. Clean the blades with vinegar at the same time too. If none of that works, try Wasso's suggestions. If that doesn't work, replace the car. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 On a serious note feel if it is a ridge or a channel. If its the latter then the screen is scratched and you may need to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
