Ponty Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 A spray of furniture polish on your fingertips and wiped along the blade, after you've cleaned it, should sort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Post-it note Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 A spray of furniture polish on your fingertips and wiped along the blade, after you've cleaned it, should sort it. Smear the windscreen with lard (or high quality butter if you don't have lard) and crack an egg over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 A little bit of silicone lubricant should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handyman Posted 12 June, 2009 Share Posted 12 June, 2009 If you want to maintain a clear screen, don't put ANY wax like substance on the wiper blades. A good quality screen wash, mixed with water in the correct quantities should be all you need. If the screen is already dirty/greasy then wash it thoroughly with washing up liquid and rinse thoroughly. Pull the wiper blades off the screen and clean with a rag soaked in washing up liquid/water solution. It is amazing to see the amount of filth that comes off of the average wiper blade. Check the blades for wear on the edges which should be square and sharply defined. Fit new ones if in doubt. Wiper blades should slightly "lay over" trailing the direction of travel. If they don't, it usually causes noisy operation or "chattering" across the screen in one direction whilst operating quietly in the other. To cure this, twist (gently) the wiper arm so that the blade trails across the screen in both directions. It can be quite tricky to get the balance right but if done properly the screen is then cleaned quietly and efficiently. Hope this helps! Of course, if it is the pivot mechanism that is squeaking that is a different matter altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
