whenever its raining and iv got my wipers on, each time they do a "wipe" it leaves like a smudge mark accross the whole of the outside of my windscreen, only lasts for a few seconds but then the nxt wipe will do the same..gets really annoying as my visability is REALLY reduced..

anything i could clean the outside of the screen with? iv got water and proper windscreen washer in my jets but that does the same thing...thinking maybe somthing on the blades thats doin it?

THANK YOU ! smile.gif

Mine were like that. Tried everything. Vinegar, kitchen cleaner, even bought Autoglym glass polish. Nothing worked - until I bought new blades. That is probably the cause of your problem as well rolleyes.gif

I agree, i've tried RainX about a week ago (a friend poured a bit on the windscreen); awesome stuff! Gonna buy me my own bottle of it, and use it!

Rain-X is awesome stuff, can take a bit of getting used to though.

Your problem sounds wiper related, probably time for some new blades methinks. wink.gif
