It's been 3 weeks since I last changed the new wipers & faithfully applying the autoglym glass polish every week. Happy to report that it's working fine so far. Somehow applying the polish doesn't feel like a chore so long as the wipers do not judder.

After Autoglym, have U try on a new pair of wipers?

IMHO

If it has been juddering badly before or the wipers are > 6 mths old - best to change them.

I agree with kepiting that you'll need a new pair of wipers together with the autoglym for best results. But be prepared to repolish every week to maintain smooth wipes. You'll need to clean the wiper blades with the autoglym too

You should get the originals form Goldenlink Auto, forget about the Borsch ones. Originals cost more...about $80.

Hi Lee,

Listen to Bro JTang - Stock is best!

Check out Goldenlink Auto as suggested.

Or get Bro Norman to get it for U from C&C parts.

Aiyah, Bro.. I tried the autoglym and it only work for a while. After like 5mins, the wipers started to judder again. Do you have to use a lot??

[Guest jtang]

I think I know your problem well...do you use the auto wipe (rain sensor) feature always? I find this feature in our Merc to be the worse amongst all the cars that I had owned before. It just doesn't read rain condition well...inconsistent is the word. Slow to react when the rain droplets are already blocking the view, & too fast when it's just a slight drizzle. Anyway, back to the problem...I find that if you use low speed continous wipes instead of auto wipes, the juddering stops. I think this may have something to do with the motors. For slight drizzle, use manual wipes by pressing the stick. Try it!

For Autoglym, I use rather generously after every downfall or every week if there's no rain.

Hey... you read my mind!! Yeah, the autowipe programming sucks! Somehow it mis-reads the intensity of the rain.

OK, let me try your suggestion. And I shall also be more generous with the Autoglym.

Thanks, man!!

Someone mentioned about Rainaway... no one has tried it? I have used it for 2 months and the result is rather disappointing. My wipers were new and didn't judder. However, after applying the product thru First Auto Ventures, the wipers started to judder. Despite going back them 3 times to rectify, the problem is still there. Going back this weekend to get them working on the windscreen again....

[Guest jtang]

Was told that Rainaway don't work well & don't last.

[Guest st8800]

Yes... that's my impression for now.... paying to get more trouble. Can it be removed?

[Guest rssid]

A generous coating of Armour-All on the wiper blades and no juddering ! Woots no messy polishing of windscreen just 1 application once a week after my car wash and the wipers are nice n smooth.

Try using Jiff dishwash detergent & a green gauze.

[Guest st8800]
