Riddle me this...rain water v water from wipers

Did you have a thunderstorm?

Apparently this has a surfactant effect on the (rain)water and makes it softer than normal too.

From years of careful research I have found that often when the wipers don't clean the screen properly it is because the wiper blades need replacing. :wasntme:

...Especially on D2a's ;)

Soften the water in your washer bottle with a drop of dishwashing detergent, and give it a slight acid sting with a cap full of vinegar. The vinegar also stops streaking.

I did read in one owners manual to avoid vinegar washer additives though, as they may affect some of the seals. This hasn't been a problem in the SIII, the RRC or the Defender. I haven't had the D2A long enough to to say the same.

angles only pee on d2a's

Stevo - empty your windscreen washer bottle, then stand up on the bullbar (preferably not in THOSE shorts) and pee in the filler. :o

This will give you an acidic base for your re-fill, which then simulates the effect of the "acid rain" next time you want to wash your windscreen. ;)

An added benefit to this procedure is that, should you become stranded out away from civilization and not have adequate supply of drinking water - then if you are a follower of Bear Grills, you have another source of liquid refreshment on board your vehicle at all times. :p

Ok...first up...some nice segways chaps ;)....typical D2 owners :p. Ok to answer some questions...nope not a thunderstorm, wipers are new, not sure what peeing angles are :p....now acid sounds like an answer for the water bottle in the car.....onya BM....so will have to see what happens next time I have muddy windows and see if that works,

It IS the Angel wee..... it has a heavenly effect on the windscreen:wasntme:
