windshield streaks with new wipers
I bought a new set of wiper blades but my windshield is still streaking. I previously applied Rain X on the windshield and I think the coating is wearing off so I bought their X-treme clean to get Rain X off but it's still streaking. So I decided to polish the windshield using DA polisher and Maguire compound, it worked for a couple of days but streaks came right back a few days later. Any suggestions on removing windshield streaks?
Thanks |

I've had success with this. Make sure you get this formula and not the one they sell at supermarkets.

How about a clay bar to remove contaminants - that should in my experience be all thats needed. don't apply any Rain-X and see how it goes.

I've never heard about coatings either. Clay bar and brake cleaner also works very well.

The streaks appear few months after I applied Rain x, I never had any streaking issue before. I will try clay bar first and see how it goes.

get a glass cleaner and use microfiber towel to clean windshield.
also, wipe down the wipers as well. |
