How To Make Windshield Wipers Like New

This auto trick by Silver Cymbal on YouTube shows how to make windshield wipers like brand new in 30 seconds. Windshield wipers can be worn down, but you can restore them using items that you may have at home. Plus this tip can help get them to last longer if you have the proper care. I hate the sound of the old windshield wipers because they leave squeaky streaks and make noises. This trick only works for windshield wipers that can be seen with your eyes such as cracks but not damaged to the point where they need a full replacement. So, if your wipers make noises or have streaks, this will help you out for the rest of your life.

Supplies:

• old sock or rag
• WD-40
• glass cleaner, optional

Directions:

First, take your old sock or rag and soak with WD-40. Then, point the wipers up to they are standing facing up.

Next, wipe and degrease the windshield blades with the rag, and go back and forth like you’re brushing your teeth. Also, you can use a high-quality glass cleaner to clean the window to make sure any grease or tar is removed from the glass. This will help prevent it to get back onto the wiper blades.

Overall, it’s a great thing to restore the windshield wipers because there can be tar, sap, and grease build-up. The WD-40 will remove all of that dirt, and the build-up is what makes the problem. This cleaning tip will help extend the life of your windshield wipers, and you’ll be able to see so much better. I’ve never thought about cleaning my own windshield wipers with WD-40, but it makes sense. I just run it through the car wash and expect for all the grease to be gone.
