nixy Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I have a definite arch mark on my windscreen where the wipers sweep across. i don't know if this is how it's supposed to be or if it's actually been caused by the wipers? There are no scuffs or scratches - it just a different colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have silicon coated wipers fitted - may have PIAA written on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 It is spotless thank you Sarnie (helpful as ever)! Can't see any writing on the wipers or blades other than Japan and R2 on one and R3 on the other. The windscreen actually looks darker where the wipers don't sweep.

Ebized Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I use distilled Malt Vinegar, giving it a good hard wipe with newspaper until it is dry - should remove the the two different colours you are seeing (I use it on the inside as well as out - helps to stop the bloom building up).

nixy Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 good idea - I've got some white vinegar somewhere for other household uses so i'll give it a try and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomoto Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 if the windscreen is actually marked as opposed to just a dirt film on it, try "jewellers rouge" to polish off any wiper marks or ask someone in the windscreen fitting trade for some of their windscreen polishing paste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
