Simple ways to restore your windshield wiper blades

We all know that driving is unnecessarily becoming an increasing expense item.

Not only are cars becoming increasingly expensive to buy, but the days of simply paying to use the roads and staying insured against accidents are long gone.

I’m afraid it’s totally our fault because governments have a system to introduce ‘sneaky revenue collectors’ slowly and strategically to avoid undue denial, so their sneaky tricks have managed to slip payment to register, pay to license, pay to stop, pay to run, pay to park, pay to go to work, pay for engine size and type, pay to buy parts and fuel and now the latest: – pay to use toll roads with no refund of existing road taxes .

It is astonishing how many misleading charges can slip through the lives of voters to stunt the political or financial nests of our elected dictators.

Anyway, now we stay where we have to keep taking care of every little economy just to stay on track. And if they don’t make us go through cars, they’ll catch us on public transport. Frankly, it is becoming an uncontrolled strategy at the expense of taxpayers.

Anyway, a lot of our funds go into this cash gap through our purchases of necessary safety parts such as replacement brake pads, new wiper blades, tires, oils, etc. Maybe even mandatory vehicle testing is just another annual revenue rake, although it does provide some important safety checks as well.

Anyway, the key here is staying as safe as possible on the roads and spending as little as possible to do so, isn’t it?

In which case, it’s sure great to see there’s another way to hold onto a little bit of the hard-earned old and, in doing so, even help the ecology along with a ton less pollution.

Where this can be done is through a fairly simple but totally annoying item called windshield wiper blades, which of course almost all transportation methods must use.

The problem with windshield wipers is that they are quite delicate mechanisms that wear out easily, but can be difficult to change due to the weather they receive, depending on where they are actually located outside the vehicle. They get it all.

They are also made from a reasonably soft rubber or silicone compound due to the requirement to be soft enough not to scratch the windshield, yet stiff enough to scrape off road grime and grime that both wet and dry weather bring. to the screen.

Windshield wiper blades work on a system of dragging up the screen, then flipping and dragging down again. They operate in this way so that the square shoulder on the edge of the blade can be tilted and act almost like scissors to scrape away dirt, sand, and water.

Unfortunately, it’s this very efficient action in and of itself that causes the edge of the wiper blade to wear out pretty quickly, which is where two things have to happen.

First, you would usually have to shop around and buy a new set of blades and then second, fight, often at the least convenient time and while cutting your fingers, you manage to remove the old blades and put the new one … But don’t keep yourself clean too, huh?

What I like most about that sentence is that it sounds so easy and straightforward, doesn’t it? And that’s the catch. In fact, I am a professional engineer and yet I admit it, I once managed to cut myself on these and destroyed a set trying to change them as well.

So regardless of all this pain and stress, if you appreciate the mechanics of what a wiper blade actually does and how it does it, then the whole problem may go away for you … almost permanently.

In order to give the public the least headache and the most satisfaction at the time, only a small serious consideration provided the development of a new tool that can simply refurbish and restore most of the wiper blades to almost new. Of course this flows forward to save the prolonged agony of finding and placing the damn things, plus the sheer waste that has been impacting the ecology (most blades don’t need to be thrown away when they are). So even though the wiper blades are only going up in price and are now often packaged to force you to buy new wiper arms and shoes with the squeegee blades, this theft can be prevented. This is called “invented attrition” and is often just unethical revenue collection for a certain business model.
