View Full Version : Prestone Wiper Blade Restorer?
Has anyone ever used this and can comment on it? I was just wondering if it did anything to reduce chatter and helps keep wiper blades cleaner without causing streaking.

I`ve never tried the Prestone product, but I`ve had good results in the past with the 303 Wiper Blade Treatment.

I use SIG on the blade. Works great. Combine that
with P21S Wash Booster in the reservoir, and...Wow.
Never seen better.

I love the Prestone WB Restorer!:bounce
It does really work, and you can see the proof after you see all of the black stuff you`ll wipe off.:p
It does stop chatter and really helps if your wipers are streaking. It`s really an invaluable product, if you ask me! And, it`s more readily available(Wally World) than the other products.:xyxthumbs
:wavey
Hmm, cool. I guess I`ll have to try some then! Thanks people. :xyxthumbs

I use 303 for my wipers. This stuff is great for so many things that are rubber, vinyl or leather.

be careful. it does work as advertised, kept on using it but before i knew it, the wiper actually tore on one end. while it still looked good at wiping, before i knew it, the torn side scored the glass from the metal holder.

Hmmm....I haven`t had any problems with it so far.:nixweiss
Maybe it`s a bad blade?!?! I had some problems with ANCO wiper blades, but since I switched to the more expensive LEXOR blades, I`ve had zero problems!:xyxthumbs

I`ve used the Prestone cleaner and it will extend the life of your wiper blades.
I believe it`s just isopropyl alcohol and perhaps is cheaper if purchased as such.

Unfortunately (??) it`s stopped raining for now, so it`ll be a while before I can say if I like this stuff or not.

Thanks for the correction.
I posted from work and didn`t have my `lil bottle with me.

I use Autoglym glass polish on my blades as well as the glass, it keeps them clean and smear free plus you get a very clean windshield.

Be careful that you are not drying out the wiper blades when cleaning them.. don`t use glass cleaners or anything like that..
I`ve bought numerous wiper blades in the last year.. and i find that there is always some amount of Graphite powder/? on them..
i think this is what makes the wiper smooth when moving acorss the glass.. I removed that graphite powder on a new set of wipers and them skipped alot.. so i never cleaned the wipers unless absolutely nesscessary..
i also have the prestone wiper restorer.. works ok i guess..taking into consideration that i change my wipers once a year.
I think the best windshield/wiper maint. is keeping your glass clean, and changing your blade every year or whenever it starts to perform poorly.
