Anything with worth or 3M on label
Doesn't matter what it is works for its purpose
That mitre 10 link I'm gonna try
Rain x does work better than replacing wiper blades - the windscreen treatment job

No mitre 10 south of chch carries it???

From my experience it tends to strip any polish off and dulls the paint and I THINK it promotes rust in some way. (that’s my 2cents worth!)

I use the rainex stuff that works with rainex windscreen treatment. That stuff is gold, really good. Pain in the arse to apply though.

Best is the Wurth additive.
But Bars Bugs is very good. We use both at work.
BB is very good in a spray bottle to clean the glass and wiper blades. Use a 100% concentration for that.
But in the w/screen reservoir use 25ml/L of water

Wurth additive for me

Wurth is wurth it.

Another for Wurth....their citrus based one is a winner.

I read to use acetone on a rag to clean yr wiper blade rubbers, tried it on an older set on the Ute, worked well

Plain old CRC works nicely for that too.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I get a nasty film/growth on my windscreens. I normally use bars bugs but have tried lots of products.
It shows up really bad when there's sunstrike.
