@SantaWithGuns 8 лет назад

+lahbl Wipers will always make a sound when dry. Even a squeegee will do that. His point still stands, worn out wipers will leave streak marks because they are worn in certain areas, also loud.

@bunsoft2 8 лет назад

+Hector Cortez , i noticed that many black "rubber" wiper blades have a graphit powder coating on it. Wipe one brand new with your fingers and you will see. I guess if this coating goes of the wiper will not slide so nicely on the glass surface and you will have that strange noise when they are dry.

Right! 13 years ago, I bought a pair of silicon wiper blades for my '98 Toyota Camry. 110,000 miles later they are still working great! Every time I wash the windows I use the squeegee scrubber to clean the blades too. Then I wipe them dry with a paper towel.

@D3nn1s 3 года назад

Nice. By his logic he would change his baldes every 6 months. This is so unrealistic, ive had two different cars for over a year, bought them used so god knows how long they havent been changed. One worked fine until i sold it, other still butter smooth. I guess ill consider it if i ever have to change them

@adamwright9741 8 лет назад

Hahahah,,, priceless!!

@louf7178 8 лет назад

It may be because, it really doesn't do any more than just washing them with the soap and water while washing the car; or it may be because they believe the alcohol will dry out the rubber; it may be because they are too lazy to do it and would just buy new ones. It's not as likely that thumbs-down from the people here means "you suck" as much as it means "I wouldn't recommend or agree with that".

@zeffur7 8 лет назад

+Lou Fazio Agreed. I also thought the recommendation was unnecessary & possibly harmful to the blade material. I just wash my blades with soap & a sponge--clean wipers work great with good windshield washer fluid. Silicone wipers do in fact last longer, however they are much more expensive. It would be interesting to compare standard wiper life to silicone wiper life to see if the $ & hassle is worth it--for many people--I doubt the extra cost for silicone wipers makes any difference to them.

@louf7178 8 лет назад

+zeffur7 Yep. I've tried it. It doesn't recover the edge. Haven't tried the silicone ones for the same reason. I've been finding refills for $2...just gonna go that. FYI, I've noticed that RainX seems to break them down. Not doing the windshield where the wiper rests seems to help. -Then I think, boy, do I need a life? But hey, I hate crappy wipers, and I'm not ignorant (for the most part, lol). Have a good one.

Silicone wipers are the bees-knees! Much like yourself, I live in Texas and that hot summer sun beats the heck out them. Buying quality silicone will actually save you up to about $100's in the long run. I will usually side on the "buy once, cry once" philosophy but thee wipers really aren't that much!Thanks Scotty. Live free!

hey scotty, just wanted to stop by and to thank you for all your videos. I remember starting watching your videos when i was in high school wanting to be a car mechanic. I didn't become a car mechanic but instead became an aircraft mechanic. But non the less because of you I've learned so much and how t do sinple fixes on my car and do alittle trouble shooting here and there. You sir are someone i wish to be like in the future. I consider you a mentor of mine. Thanks again for the videos please don't stop making them!

Also after washing the wind shield rub some Rain X on the wind shield makes rain bead up and acts as a wax on glass so blades slide smoothly!!! 😄

@warcraftarenas8770 6 лет назад

Pfft bro if you put RainX on your windshield u dam near dont even need to use your wipers 😂😂 that shit is no joke its like hockey pucks sliding across an ice rink..flys right off

@sheldonm3535 6 лет назад

Francis G yup and since I’m in NY meaning cold as crap! I run the orange rain X washer fluid. Find them on sale and buy early. Once it snows they are all gone. They contain more alcohol so they clean super well and doesn’t freeze like the cheap blue stuff at gas stations.

@fixedgearforlife 6 лет назад

QuickCarCare, driving on the interstate highway I don't even use my wipers with all the RainX I buff onto my windshield. At that speed all the water beads off. The only time I have to use the wipers is when I'm driving thru urban areas at slower speeds.

@sheldonm3535 6 лет назад

fixedgearforlife yea the aerosol Rain X is really good too. I use that and also Rain X washer fluid. The orange stuff. The blue stuff freezes for me as I live in NY. The rain X aerosol also doesn’t require buffing. It also makes ice and snow stick less.

@jimpinckard7891 8 лет назад

Scotty, you're right about the silicone blades. I bought a set of triple edge brand blades and installed them on my 2002 dodge truck when I bought it new. They're still on there doing just fine. I also installed some of the same kind on my other cars at the same time and they too are still on there and no problems. Silicone blades are the way to go. I will be cleaning them tomorrow.

@ferreiraaveiro3908 8 лет назад

@Luke-san 8 лет назад

+don stromberg that is sometimes the case with these auto wipers also. I love them, but in winter they can be an absolute mess when it is freezing outside. Automatic means that you will forget to put them in the 'off' position

@hothamandfauri 8 лет назад

My question is. After cleaning the wiper blades could I then spray them with a sylicone lubricant? Would this help the rubber to last longer or would it have no effect?

@alzaidi7739 6 лет назад

Yeah, another guy on RU-vid recommends soaking rubber in silicone solution. He used a n aircraft can, but Armour-All will do. did my wipers

@chieftp 6 лет назад

yes, it would be a fantastic idea to have some sort of oil, grease or tire spray smeared all over your windshield.

@MrBilld75 6 лет назад

My thoughts too. I would rather use something that treats the rubber, than something like alcohol that can dry them out. As for what chieftp said, I can see his point but there are rubber treatments that are not oily. I use one from Germany called Gummi Fusslig or something and it's not oily. I believe I may experiment with it. I just don't like the idea of something like alcohol that is known to dry things out. Much as I like Scotty K. I don't think he is correct on this one.

@AnthonyLarson.3 7 лет назад

1:52 it still squeaks just the same!

@nunyabiznis817 7 лет назад

Actually, it was much less. Reason for the squeaking this time was because the window was too dry after the first swipe plus, over time the factory coating has worn off. The blades aren't ever going to be as new, but they will last longer if you clean them, just like anything else. No need to waste denatured alcohol. Glass cleaner will do the trick just fine.

@yorickaname9475 7 лет назад

Treat the windshield with a little bit of white distilled vinegar (same active ingredient that's used in RAINx) I did that and I was in a POUR-DOWN right after--really didn't even have to turn my blades on. When I did, no squeaks. Also.... might ask him a question above...something that i don't know about--so... check out that....

@lanceemil3208 7 лет назад

Yorick Aname wrong: the main ingredient in Rain-X is hydroxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and acts like a silicone coating. Although, it's good to clean glass with acids like white vinegar, it wipes off nearly immediately, whereas Rain-X stays behind & coats much like car wax.

@Qui-9 7 лет назад

+Yorick Aname since when does RainX smell like, or give ANY indication it contains vinegar? Stop making up and spreading bullshit, mmmkay? It's a silicone based substance in an alcohol solvent.

@yorickaname9475 7 лет назад

Bawb Lablaw Not spreading BS dipshit. I was wrong, ok, it is alcohol, but the vinegar did WONDERS for my windshield, lasted a LOT longer than the rainx.

I'm glad they treat you well, I put a pair on my car and right out of the box they sucked. oh well, it was only 6 bucks. I'll go get some Bosch or something along those lines

can we use vodka alcohol instead? we have a lot in our kitchen cabinets. my younger sister has lots of silicone if you know what i mean.

@eksine 7 лет назад

I don't know you mean at all. So what you're going to cut her chest open and rip out her fake boobs and take it to a wiper blade manufacturer so they can use it to make you special wiper blades? That's murder

@billiebobbienorton2556 7 лет назад

that's silly I wouldn't kill her I would ask if I can borrow some silicone. Geeze!

@eksine 7 лет назад

Billie Bob Norton III She's going to rip open her own chest to give you some silicone? that makes sense

@billiebobbienorton2556 7 лет назад

why do you keep sayin open her chest? huh? not goin to get it from there!

This is a great tip. Something you can easily do when you change your oil.

How do they get the nature out of alcohol, and what do they do with it? Though, I like it better natured, with a little coke or pepsi.

@sok8888 7 лет назад

I have a theory. You can drink alcohol. To prevent people access to cheap alcohol, they denaturalized it so it'll blind the drinker instead.

Another way is to move to Arizona. Then take your wipers off and put them in the trunk. Put on car when needed.

tryithere They get ruined so quickly here in Phoenix, especially during the summer. It's like they get a lot of use and get wet a lot but still wear out the moment it dries up and heats back up above 110.

Thank you very much Scotty. It did work no more annoying wipers. It saved me around 30 to 40$ for now at least as avalon wipers sold here in KSA for around 170SR.
