Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washes have been known to affect the
cleanability of windows.
Contamination of either the windshield or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.
If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.
To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
don't use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
