Windshield Wipes poor operation

[WDWFordGuy]

Has anyone found good windshield wipers. My wipers have never worked well they are always streaky, I've tried several different brands and even brand new they don't work well.

Anyone else?

Anyone found a solution?

First make sure your windshield is really clean. I use Bosch Icons. They work great.

I second Bosch Icons. Wax applications from auto car washes can cause streaks, skipping etc. Consider wiping front glass with rubbing alcohol to remove any contaminants.

I use a Dawn dish detergent solution to thoroughly clean the oils and grease buildup off my windshield whenever it starts to streak or look oily. Dawn is a very effective emulsifying agent. After that, any good quality windshield wiper should be just fine.

Yep agree, clean windshield and use Bosch Icons wiper blades.

Piling on with the Bosch Icon recommendation & keeping windshield clean. Also, I periodically wipe the wiper blades themselves with an alcohol prep pad.

It will also remove any wax coating on the paint.

Bosch and also I use rain x on the window and use rain x washer solvent.

I just use Technicans Choice ceramic detail spray after a wash, before I dry it I mist some on all the panels then rinse from a distance and dry. Shinny and hydrophobic after! Then I have no need to use the wipers.

Buy it by the gallon of Amazon stuff smells amazing and lasts a long time.
