Re: [DML] Choppy wipers / leaks

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

I would hesitate to recomend using steel wool. It could scratch and
you wind up with all the tiny bits of metal that will eventually rust
and stain. First try alcohol and paper towels. The idea is to remove
the wax which causes the blades to move in a jerky motion. After you
get the windshield (windscreen) really clean THEN you can put the
Rain-X on it. You can also take the wiper blades off and wash them
with dish washing liquid to remove any sap or wax on them. It also
rejuvenates the edge a little. This works on non-Delorean cars also.
If the edge of the wiper blade is not square or is ragedy they should
be replaced. Triple edge blades require a lot more spring pressure on
them to work so you may never get them to work right on the Delorean.
