<HTML>It seems like I replace my windshield wiper blads all the time and still get streaks when using them. Even when the are brand new. Is it possible my windshield is dirty and needs a thorough cleaning. If so, what would be good? I've heard of using Comet before, but I'm hesitant to use it because of its abrahesiveness. Any tips would be great. Thanks.</HTML>

<HTML>There are specific glass polishing products available (Autoglym, Iz etc) used with an orbital or HS polisher. I have also heard good things about a product called 'Barkeepers Friend'

<HTML>Do you park around a burger place?

If you are experiencing a lot of smearing, the grease coming out the stack may be your problem, but then you didn't provide a lot of information.

Another problem with wiper blades happens if you live in areas like L.A. which has a high ozone content in the air. A set of blades oxidize pretty quick out there. Just wipe the edges once or twice a month with rubbing alcohol.
