Windshield Wiper Safety

Have you ever had a streaking windshield caused by a wiper blade that was getting old? Until you have time to get it changed, here's a tip to temporarily clear up the problem. Lyde Waitley, owner of Olsen Auto Repair in Livermore, suggests you wipe your wiper blades with an alcohol based hand wipe. You can use eyeglass wipes or even baby wipes.

Or, if on the road use the hand wipes from a fast food chicken restaurant. This should clear up your windshield for a little while until you have a chance to change your wiper blades. Clear sailing!
