Re: Strange? Question...
Wouldn't wax on the windshield contribute to "wiper chatter?"
I have been getting a lot of wiper chatter in the last few months. It comes
and goes. I replaced the wiper blades and the wiper arms, thinking that the
arm springs were old and weak.
I think it might be the Rain-X I have been using for the last couple of
months. I'm trying to clean off the Rain-X but it takes a few weeks to be
completely removed.
Anybody have "wiper chatter" problems on their TJ?

There's what they call a windshield wax, but if you follow their
instructions, and buff it all off, all you're done is clean the
windshield: http://www.rainx.com/frame_auto_glass.htm

Re: Strange? Question...
I've never had "wiper chatter" on the Jeep. Got it real bad on the
wifeys Passat as we speak. Car's a piece of sh*t anyway- 2002 for 30K
and I can't stand it... grrrrr.
Anyway, I heard that once you've used Rain-X, you've got to keep using
it or your windshield gets streaky- fast. Besides, I'm not necessarily
going for the "drive without the wipers" effect. I just remember
hearing some time ago that wax (a mild abrasive) will actually lessen
the effect / appearance of a pitted windshield without adding to the
problem and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it.
I may just go ahead and try the passengers side and see how bad the
"halo effect" is. It's not that I doubt Bill at all, it's just that
maybe one issue may be less bothersome than the other- a pitted
windshield or a windshield that makes me feel like I'm driving on LSD!

I was #4 in a flight of 4 doing formation acrobatics at 35-40000' when
I experienced rapid decompression one day - quarter inch of ice
crystals over the enire canopy - that's still not funny (nor
sanitary).
My problem with any of the polishes I've ever used (on purpose or
accidently) is that they all seem to cause the wipers to smear badly.
I have had decent luck with a weak solution of dish soap on the inside
of the windshield - not perfect but I smoke and every little bit helps
on those cold mornings.
