Afterwax - jumping left front wiper

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hi my front wiper is skipping/jumping after the waxing my car up.
Guy who cleaned and waxed it check it again and said the procedure is ok.

But I have driven in rain before waxing it and I am pretty sure the wiper didnt jump. Its like an old car with old wiper now.

Not like this :
but only bottom 1/3 of left wiper

Clean it, polish it or..?

try washing up liquid to remove it?
then you could try something like rainx or similar as a water repellent on the glass.
swear by rainx personally , sure there are comparible products out there aswell.

Contamination... suggest you have got polish residue on the screen if the car has been waxed.

I use white vinegar to clean my screens if there is comtamination, usually does the trick.

Agree that it is contamination. There are glass scrubbing products made for cars available, and I have heard some people use clay on the windshield. Then make sure the blade is clean too.

Hi thx. Which one u mean? Typical white vinegear for cooking or some special with no color and taste?

The guy who cleaned car for me did clay but then said this wax doest have to be "compatible" with my blades.. but did nothin to fix it.. heh.

Its annoying my blades jumping so much. If I use window washer during rain and ride it doesnt jump for a while and then it starts again.
