Remedy For A Greasy Windshield
Question: My two cars have the same problem: I can't seem to get the windshield cleaned of a greasy film. This condition makes it extremely difficult to see with the wipers in operation on rainy days. Instead of cleaning the windshield, the wipers just smear the water around, making it virtually impossible to see. I have tried washing the windshield, but nothing removes the film. Do you have any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
Answer: This is a common problem that is created when oils from the road are kicked up onto the windshield from other cars when it rains. This forms a film much like an oil slick, prohibiting the wipers from doing their job. A simple fix for this condition is to wash the windshield with a solution of Bon Ami cleanser and water, and replace the wiper blades. The cleanser solution will cut the oil film. By replacing the wiper blades, you remove the oil-contaminated rubber of the old blades, which hold oil like a sponge.
