Since iv had my p38 the old wipers streaked and smeared a lot. New wipers on a fresh wash. And these new ones are nearly as bad as the old ones. What can i clean this bloody windscreen with. Wd40? Haha no on all seriousness iv just used wash and wax and a jet wash and it was still pants. Tried using polish no use so now what? Thinners mabye?
 
These are bosch baught from halfrauds. They are better then the old ones but still abso pants. Not exactly safe at 50 on on dark roads then the smear from lights and so on makes hard to see
 
Fastglass - give it a few goings over until there's no muck coming off including the lower part of the windscreen! Then do the wipers. Sorted!

You don'r want wax on windscreen, use soap only(mequiars gold class smells nice), autoglym glass cleaner is what I use once or twice a year in and out, no streaks with cheap blades from Island 4x4. Bosch/fancy blades are waste IMO.
Extend/renew viper blades with nail varnish remover/acetone, it works:)
 
Ah okays i dont own a clay bar seems like effort lol. Il try bits out tomorrow okay its probs a 151k mile windscreen as is the car (not often i buy somthing with this low a mileage) but iv never had one streak like this. I could give nudists a streaking competition
 
Cheap Valeo wipers perfom just as well as Bosch IMO.
Any wax or silicone on the screen will cause streaking.
 
Vinegar and newspaper. Could even fix a bullet wound in the Napoleon Wars!

I use a nano windscreen cleaner but don't breath in the fumes. Works great inside too.
 
Are you sure they are streaking and not just lifting of the screen? I had this problem until I fitted blades with wings. A lot of cars used to specify them as fitment. My wife's 45 has them.
 
best thing ive ever used on a windscreen or any glass is white vinegar and kitchen roll it will strip everything off your windscreen. cheap as well
