Haven`t done this yet....but will tomorrow . Take 2000 Grit Sandpaper and wipe/clean my windshield blades.



Whenever I use the wiper blades, the windshield gets real hazy. Not wiper chatter, etc (car is only 8 months old). Just reapplied Aquapel 3 weeks ago (this may be the cause also).



With the snow, salt, etc and the mist........been using the wipers quite often with the factory fluid and P21S Windshield Washer Boost. Don`t know what gives.....

I`d use `something` to thoroughly clean the window. Think about buffing AIO, and then a couple coats of SG - worked for me.



New blades!

Before you go at it with AIO, have you tried clay? Most of the time, clay does it for me. Then AIO/SG or Zaino is the "icing on the cake" -- adds even more slickness -- but I think it`s the clay that really does the cleaning.

How well does SG bead/sheet water on windows/glass? I use Aquapel, but it is a pain to find and it is rather expensive. If AIO and SG work, that would be a good alternative as well as a good upsell for customers.

Clean windows with window cleaner, Clay, then #0000 steelwool and widowcleaner aslubricate for both clay and steelwool.



Also, buy new wipers.

The haze also may be the salt replacement chemical they use onthe roads now .. It seems to react oddly with some windshield washer fluids especially the glycol ones.
