What to Do When the Wiper Doesn't Clean Properly?

Solutions for wipers not cleaning properly: You can wet the glass with water and run your hand over the glass back and forth. If the glass surface feels uneven, it indicates the presence of foreign matter. To remove it, wipe the glass with warm water several times, then use newspaper to clean off the dirt. Wipers, also known as windshield wipers or windscreen wipers, are devices used to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. When it rains, turning on the wipers can clear the mist on the windows. However, you might notice that the wipers only remove part of the mist, and after wiping, the windows still appear very blurry, not achieving a particularly good effect. This is actually because the car has been used for too long, resulting in a layer of oil film adhering to the front glass, which is invisible to the naked eye. If there is an oil film on the car's windshield, even after using the wipers, the windshield may not be cleaned thoroughly.
After driving for so many years, nothing annoys me more than wipers that don't clean properly. First, thoroughly wash the windshield with a mixture of kitchen detergent and water, scrubbing hard with a sponge—pay extra attention to areas with heavy oil film. Check if the wiper rubber is cracked; if the edges are curled up, replace them immediately—don't wait until it rains to panic. Also, lift the wiper arm to check—if the spring is rusty and lacks tension, it won't clean well either—spray some rust remover. Always remember to turn off the wipers before shutting off the engine, as the rubber is more prone to deformation when exposed to sunlight. Last month, I followed these steps, and now even in heavy rain, my visibility is crystal clear.
