    using wax on windscreen....

    Someone suggested using wax(meg #16) on windscreen.Just wondering ,won`t it affect the durability of the wiper blades? Any comment on this?

    Thanks

    The bad part about using wax on windshields isn`t that it will affect the wipers (it won`t) but a real wax not a polymer will cause smearing and a loss of visibility. You will initially notice it at the end of the wiper `sweep` where the wax that has been `scraped up` by the squeegee action of the wiper is deposited on the glass. I`ve noticed that some of the synthetics do the same thing.

    While I feel that wax is "ok" for windows that don`t roll up & down (or have wiper blades), I still think Rain-X is still the best choice for windows period

    Vanilla Moose rocks on windows. I have some Diamondite on mine and am testing it out. It seems to work pretty well.
