How To Fix Streaking Windshield Wiper Blades Like New in 30 Seconds

Renewing your windshield wipers is an easy DIY job and not only restores old wiper blades but also helps new wiper blades last much longer on your car or truck.

Silver Cymbal demonstrates how to make old windshield wiper blades like new again using things you probably already have at home. The process is quick, easy, actually works and anyone can do it…

Editor’s Note:

For best results and full benefit for your efforts, we recommend using a silicone spray instead of WD-40 (although the WD-40 brand does have a silicone version) as silicone is regularly recommended for rejuvenating rubber, and its what we use in our own shop. Silicone will preserve the life of the rubber windshield wiper blades longer.
