Car Wiper Blades are a crucial safety part on your car. If you neglect them; they’ll cost you cash. You’ll also make your life behind the wheel less pleasant, more tiring and more hazardous.

When Car Wiper Blades are neglected, they become noisy in operation. They also wipe erratically, leaving un-wiped areas and streaks all over the windscreen. The noise is very distracting, and in time it becomes fairly tiring, especially as the motorist starts to minimise his use of the wipers in order to minimise the annoyance of the noise. When he does that, the motorist allows the windscreen to get thoroughly obscured before he finally flicks the wipers on for a solo wipe. The dangers in this practice are clear. In all weathers, on modern busy roads, it’s completely vital to have perfect vision, and a calm fresh alert driver!

Neglecting your Car Wiper Blades will also cost you cash, because they’ll wear out & inevitably die on you much sooner than a properly looked after pair of Car Wiper Blades.

Stiffening, Cracking & Degeneration of the rubber blade is the major cause of noisy and badly performing Car Wiper Blades. Rubber is degraded by Ultra Violet Light, Ozone, Pollution and many solvents. All these things cause the above problems. The degeneration is accelerated if the Car Wiper Blades are left dirty, because the dirt harbours road grease and other chemicals which attack the rubber. Grit particles also grind and cut into the working edge of the wiper blade, making the streaking much worse and opening up the blade to quicker attack.

So, how should you take proper care of your Car Wiper Blades? Well, the good news is that it’s actually very easy to keep your Car Wiper Blades in top condition, and in so doing markedly extend their working life, eliminate distractions of noisy Car Wiper Blades, and ensure that you always see the road with perfect visibility through a clear clean windscreen.

To start with, each time you wash your car, you should always lift the Car Wiper Blades and thoroughly wash and rinse the area under where the Car Wiper Blades park. This is really important, because, especially when it rains, this dirt easily finds its way onto the working edge of the wiper blade, so spoiling the smoothness of the wipe which in turn causes squeaks, streaks and juddering.

At the same time, while you have the Car Wiper Blades lifted off the screen, take a soft cloth or sponge, and wet it with some diluted car screen wash liquid. Carefully wipe the edge and along the sides of the blade and finally wipe the frame, giving special attention to the joints on traditional Car Wiper Blades. If you’re lucky enough to own Flatblade Wipers, you don’t need to worry about joints, although you have a much bigger surface to clean.

If you have rubber Car Wiper Blades (as opposed to Silicone Windscreen Wipers ) you should also avoid parking in a way that leaves them cooking in strong sunlight, because the Ultra Violet Light will be having a field day eating into your rubber Windscreen Wipers.

Eventually, when you have to replace your Car Wiper Blades you should consider Silicone Windscreen Wipers, because they resist attack by all the things which attack rubber. Additionally, they are much more wear resistant than rubber Car Wiper Blades, so they typically last three to 5 times longer.
