Well, this is to do with my recently acquired Nissan Primera. When I got the car it had been standing outside for 3 years. The seller had given it a quick wash but when I put the wipers on they squealed across the windscreen (much worse than the chalk on the blackboard effect..Aaaarrrgh!) So, I changed the blades for new (flat type) and I spent yesterday cleaning the moss out of the recesses and took ages cleaning the windscreen with glass cleaner and then treating it, twice, to Rain-X (the stuff that makes the glass so slippy you don't need wipers... apparently). Guess what? Yup, just the same. I am now dreading taking the car out if it looks a bit iffy. Any ideas? Leigh (Area rep)

He (the seller) probably polished it... I'd try cleaning thoroughly with meths or isopropyl alcohol on a clean cotton rag. Might not work, but would remove any oily residue. Sure it'll wear off eventually either way.

My old skyline did exactly the same, couldn't cure it. Until I tried a blade that was an inch shorter. May be worth a try.

To clean glass I use hot water with a very little washing up liquid, and a good dose of vinegar. Use it on a clean cloth and rub /polish the glass hard. Clean the wiper blades too.
