Good video for someone who needs to see it, but I've ran across a blade skipping/jumping across the glass even after I replaced with quality blades. I found my issue to be not the blades itself but actually the wiper arms themselves being tweaked ( excessive force put on the arms, crazy ex ripping off wiper arms etc.. ) but the arm on my driver's side was twisted just slightly causing the blade to not rock back and forth across the glass during the wiper blade sweep. Readjusted the arm and no more noise. That noise drove me insane!!

This 100% worked for a well known and very irritating juddering issue with OEM wiper blades on Mercedes cars and SUVs (new or old blades). This hack cost all of $9 for the Polish and 10min of my time. It saved my sanity as well as $40 vs the other recommend solution (which is to buy aftermarket Bosch blades). Thank you!!

OMG! I have had my truck a year and dealt with this the entire time! I just tried this and it worked great! Thank you so much for this great info!

Wow...even dry they were smooth...Im impressed! Ps. Your skipping windshield wiper sound effect was spot on! :)

I tried this today & it rained this evening, no noise at all, perfect…. Thank you

Sounded about right to me. Actually if I turn the video off and just listen to the sound, I thought it was in fact my wiper blades. And I’m sitting on the couch right now.

Another trick to stop the noisy wiper, turn the blade around. Worked for me.

You’re getting a like just for the fact you made the juddering noise at the start 😂

I resently clay toweled my windshield to get the contamintes off,which works great. I tried the wipers and they chattered out of control. I applied polish and now they wipe without a sound. Great video!

Love the text and driving fact

Trick to give your wipers some more life. Like he said in the video, your wipers squish to one side after a while. Slightly lift the blade, move it an 1/8" and drop it back down such that the blade is now leaning in the opposite direction. Do this when you know you won't be using your blades for a while (based on rain forecast) and your blades will sit for a week or more helping them heal. If you do use your wipers, just repeat the procedure after you park.

Thank you for this video. That wiper skipping sound was really annoying

Mine had a judder on the passenger side (long arm) wiper just when it was completing a cycle and coming to rest. I cleaned both the wiper blade and the affected part of the windscreen with a multi-purpose cleaning wipe and it’s gone now. Thanks!

Good Job Semper Fedelis ,,, From the Navy Boy's

Appriciate the video, but in most cases, it's the angle of the wiper arm that needs adjusted. Iv'e tried evrything...premium blades, etc...and after intense research, found out about the angle being adjusted. It works even on old wiper blades. Cleaning like this, is very temporary.

Great video ! Going to do this on my vehicles. Thanks for posting this.

also your wiper is misaligned, take two pliers and twist the arm near the stalk until blade is perpendicular to the windshield surface

I've tried to figure out how to stop my wipers from vibrating for MONTHS! THIS WORKED!!!

Chris Fix has a video on super cleaning a windshield. The effect is as you described: “Hey! Where’d the glass go!?”. He uses wax, and I’ve had mixed success with it, partly because I think I let it sit too long before buffing. The water comes off the glass so well you don’t need wipers over 40 mph. I’m going to try Nu Finish

This make so much sense, thank you. So I found that when I blast the windscreen with the heater on full heat the noise begins to stop but after a while comes back as heater is turned off, so softening the blades with heat will work as this will allow the blade to flow rather than push against. Also this is a brand new car with brand new wipers could also be standard of blade.

I did exactly what have you showed on the video, The problem has been solved, you are amazing, thank you very much.

Awesome work buddy! That is a perfect explanation and demonstration!

Great video

Very impressive. Thanks!!!!

Nice to find a video with products I already own. 🤣

Chattering, my guy!!!

Awesome keep doing shows like that. God bless you Always.......

Worked excellently, my silicone beams no longer skip

Thank you so much! The dragging has been driving me nuts and I had heard about the alcohol thing but it just didn’t sound right to me because of the drying of the rubber. I will do this, thanks again.

Claybar. Will easily solve wiper chatter and deep clean your glass. One step.

2:15 low key realized thats the reason behind the dudududududud squeeeek

Semper. Thank you.

Thank you! 👌

Thank you but don’t talk to my NWB wiper viewer keep secret 🤫

I understand that silicone wipers last longest. Also, wiping blades with protectant like Armor-All preserves the rubber.

Nice video thanks

Great video. Solves my problem. Thank You. I'm Subscribing. Yep. GO NAVY!

Doing this is fine if you have a brand new windshield. If you travel, freeways or highways, your windshield will be sandblasted from dirt that the cars in front of you have picked up and this paste will be stuck in the minute chips in the windshield glass and cause a haze that will make driving into the sun very miserable.

I liked it , and going to try

I had used Rain X in the past to get a satisfactory result. However, I got a similar idea as yours months ago. So, I cleaned the windshield really well, and applied Nu Finish... I did not get the result expected. So much that I cleaned it really well again to remove the polish. Might give it a second try. (By the way, we seem to have the same model of car...). I just put brand new OEM Bosch wipers two days ago, and the driver side (as too often the case whatever brand I put on) is way too noisy. Will give Nu Finish a second chance...

Thanks for the vid. Going to try this. 👌 BTW. You sound like... someone doing... an impression of... Christopher Walken!

Another thing that will cause wipers to skip no matter how good they or your windshield are is setting them too high (too short a delay between wipes, or even using continuous when you should be using intermittent--something I really hate when I see other drivers do!). Your wipers need enough water on the windshield to work properly!

thanks you for post this video.

One day my wiper suddenly skips so bad that it causes the wiper to come off from the wiper hook and it leaves bit of black goo all over the windshield. Tried to align and adjust the angle of the wiper, nothing. Tried clay bar on the windshield - not much difference. Bought new wiper, same skipping noises. Then tired and at my wits end, I took a bucket of water and one bottle cap of car shampoo, give it a quick wash, the noise gone!

i have brand new winshield + brand new Bosch wipers and is still skipping.... under rain.. (i also have water repellent aplied on the windshield)

Use WD-40 "SILICONE" spray to lubricate wiper blades and door seals.

"Chattering" windshield wipers also are hard on the windshield wiper motor.

Thank u

Basically you are "lubricating" the windshield/wiper contact point so it's a smooth wipe which stops the skipping. You can also get certain formulas of windshield washer fluid that help with this "lubrication" scenario. When it rains, and you first turn on your wipers and notice the skipping, just pump a little washer fluid out there and it should stop. Yes, washer fluid even if it's raining. Obviously if it's a downpour it's pointless! If you are doing this, it probably means you should polish your windshield or replace with new blades. Anyway, here the full scoop on this concept.... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qq6TlMiemau-nZ8.html

I mean if you try all that and you have te same issue it's time to adjust the tention spring on the wipers.

I have a brand new mazda cx5. I made the mistake and put rain x on the windshield thinking it would help with rain visibility because I did not like the wipers the car came with. They also dont make many wipers with this new arm attachment Mazda starting using. Anyway I used the rain x and all I got was wiper chatter. It’s horrible. I will try this. Thanks

If the blade is not sitting perpendicular to the windshield the chatter will occur. I bend the wiper arm, not the blade in order to get the the blade as perpendicular as possible. 99% of the time this alone fixes the chatter. There are plenty of videos showing how to bend your wiper arms using two cresent wrenches. Don't do the one wrench trick becuase your putting pressure on the wiper transmission pivot which will eventually damage it. Try it, you will thank me.

👍

Hello. To apply the Nu Finish Polish, you just used paper towels right?

SJ, I wish you had named substitute brands for your brand name products.

So, you didn't put anything on the blades after wiping them down? Did I get that right? Thanks for vid!

Noisy wiper is a mechanical issue. Cleaning/waxing is not a permanent solution. Demo before cleaning and waxing was must ...

So rubbing alcohol won't dry out the windshield is it safe? Should i just use a glass cleaner then polish it with that?

I'm definitely going to try this.

mine doesn't do any noise, it just has a point that seems to be not touching the window. that means after wiping, I will have a full on arch on my windshield that looks dirty, and the rest cleaned. I replaced the wipers, worked fine for 6 months, now it started again. it's so annoying.

Smok'n J's...

Ive seen this on scotty kilmers channel.

Do you polish the inside of your windshield as well?

what do i do if my blades are dry because already tried WD-40? how do i get them to be not-dry?

I get a full line steak in middle. On drivers side . I don't see anything wrong with blades. Don't know why it does it

Does detergents from a Car Wash remove the polish ?

Could you use a silicone spray on the blades instead of WD40 to prevent the drying effect or would it give a similar result?

Tried out the nu polish to polish the wind screen, wiper also cleaned, however wipers juggering issue still there. What should I do next?

my wipers won't stay down at higher speeds, anything over 45 mph someone said the arms are faulty. what is that ??

Why didn't you show it skipping before, how do we know you had an issue?

I just replaced mine and it still skipping

I like my windshield to smell good

I tried that, indeed it solve the noise problem, but it created another problem. The window become glaze when Street light shine on front wind screen when wiper is turned on during raining day....

What annoys me is people who never clean their cars

Does it leave a haze at night time?

I want to try will coating the wiper blades with natural graphite powder that doesn't contain other stuffs solved the problem? Since many wiper are graphite coated when there new by the factory so i want to do it my own now

If you don’t like to use wd40 why would you initially tell us to.

I put my wipers on BRAND NEW a like 2 mnoths ago abd now all of a sudden over night theyre skippong

I think nu finish is like a paint sealant rather than a wax... so would other paint sealants work just as well? I just don't wanna have to go out and buy another bottle!

did he say what to clean the wipers with?

You did NOT show that you had any "shuddering" so all that I know that you did was polish your windshield.

I cleaned my windshield. I changed my wiper blades. I still get the skipping wipers - why?

how long can it last.

What's rubbing alcohol?

What’s your thoughts on RainX? This a better method for windshield maintenance?

I waxed my windshield with regular paste wax, out of curiosity. Now im trying to find out how to remove it. I clay bar'd it for 30 mins and washed it with soapy water but its not comin off. Can anyone help an idiot out?.

Its your windsheild arm or blade not the glass

Yeah but what he doesn’t tell you it will leave a thick ass cloud on your windshield in high humidity, and the wiper will still streak if it’s a slanted windshield. My Finish isn’t for me.

My windshield wipers are brand new and they skip like crazy. What gives?

How do we know they weren’t that smooth before? LOL you didn’t show them on before you polished

I think I need a new windshield

I wish I knew why wiper blades skip,but this did not work.

before and after would have been good

what about vaseline?? lol i tried that tonight

You cleaned one wiper blade then cleaned the car window. This is contaminated. Try again another day.

handsome

Im going to do this on the inside too

Tried this, this doesn't work. cleaning windshield doesn't work

Dont work

This actually made it worse for me
