    Default OT: Vaseline on the windscreen

    Son lent his car to a family friend. I got the job of sorting the wipers out: 'They started to go very slowy and then got stuck'. Sorted out the seized linkages and thought all was well. But it starts raining while I'm returning the car and I think wtf? this screen is very greasy. Good thing the sun isnt out or I'd be seeing nothing! Two guesses what the clever lady had put on the screen to 'help' the wipers move.

    Ha. Use Rain-X windshield fluid, then once your moving about 50+ mph the rain just sheets off and you don't have to use the wiper

    Hmm I checked aquapel on line, it does appear to be better but you have to apply it. I use rain-x windsheild wiper fluid so all I have to do to apply it is press the windshield wiper button .
