How To Avoid Ruining Your Wipers:

• Clean your windshield each time to you fill up the tank.
• NEVER use your wipers as an ice scraper, use your defroster.
• During winter months, pull your wipers away from the windshield to prevent ice build up.
• Clean your wiper blades using a wet paper towel to remove dirt and grime.
