How to clean the windshield wiper brushes of a vehicle

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Windshield wipers

If when you clean the car windshield there are streaks or the water is not properly swept away, the main cause is usually the windshield wipers that may be worn out or excessively dirty. In these cases, we should lift the windshield wiper arm vertically and carefully check the condition of the wipers; if they are damaged, they will need to be replaced, but if they are still perfectly intact, simply cleaning them will be enough. In this case, spray some WD 40 on a microfiber cloth and clean the wipers. When no dirt is released on the cloth, reposition the wipers horizontally and activate them to check their correct functioning.
