car washes have been known to
affect the cleanability of windows.Contamination of either the windshield
or the blades with foreign matter can

sources are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes. If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a
good cleaner or mild detergent; then
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Repeat if necessary.
CAUTION
!
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, don’
t use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
