Accord 2000. I have put in new wiper blades 2 months ago and they
worked well for some time. Now the driver's side wiper leaves a haze.
I don't think it is the blade again. I think there is not enough
pressure in the middle of the wiper arm to clean thoroughly. I was
wondering if Rain X would help. But a quick search through this NG
makes me think that it might be a bad idea in the current snow, salt
and dusty conditions -- I will probably put it on the other windows as
many do.

However, that leaves the problem of Windshield. Is there anything that
will clean it up real good and would make the wipers work better?

The other problem is the wiper fluid jets not hitting the center and
just dribbling out some foamy stuff. Basically I am scared of using
them on a highway because the fluid barely reaches the bottom and the
wiper picks it up and s it on the entire windshield without
wiping it clean. I just drove for 2 hours with a dirty windshield and
did not use the stupid washer fluid. It is that bad.

I would look into the washer fluid levels and try to clean the jets in
the afternoon. But please share your experiences with cleaning the
windshield and wipers if you can.

Thanks in advance,
bc

I use Aquapel on my Windshield http://www.ppg.com/gls_aquapel/main.htm

I don't use my wipers hardly at all any more.

I clean the windshield with windex, and the blades with silicone spray
on a paper towel. bob

Checked out aquapel at a local detail shop--they want 49.95 CDN for an
application. Just a tad pricey I felt considering it has to be redone in six
months.

Any one else have pricing in either Cdn or US dollars?

Update: a straightened paper clip took care of the jets on the hood.
They were clogged and not pointing right. The pointing part is not
easy to fix but I tried and it is better now.

The wiper problem just went away after the washer fluid drenched the
windsheild thoroughly.

Just goes on to show that a little bit of cleaning now and then helps
:-)
