Cleaning the brushes
If the windshield remains opaque after turning on the washer, or the wiper blades rattle during operation, the cause may be contamination of the windshield or the blades themselves with wax-like or other substances.
Wash the outside of the windshield with washer fluid or neutral detergent. If the windshield is clean, there will be no droplets when you rinse it with clean water.
Wipe the windshield wiper blades with a rag soaked in a solution of washer fluid or neutral detergent. Then rinse the blades with clean water. If the quality of cleaning the windshield by the windshield wiper remains unsatisfactory after this, replace the blades.
Windscreen washer nozzles
