Wiper blades worth recommending to customers

Autumn in Poland is a real test for drivers. Rain, fog, mud, falling leaves, and shorter days make good visibility crucial for safety.

Good visibility is one of the fundamentals of safe driving. In such conditions, it’s not just lighting and tires that count, but also wiper blades – often underestimated automotive parts that have a huge impact on comfort and safety. And this is where OXIMO has been shining for years – a Polish wiper brand that knows full well that good rubber is the basis for confident driving.

It’s not always the blades’ fault

When customers report that “wipers are smearing,” mechanics know the problem doesn’t always lie with the blades themselves. Other elements can be to blame – a limescaled windshield, worn arms, resin residue, or a sandblasted (pitted) windshield.

Therefore, before writing the wipers off, it’s worth examining the entire system. Regularly cleaning the windshield, checking the arm pressure, and wiping the rubber with a soft cloth and detergent can work wonders. And if the problem still persists – only then is it worth reaching for a new set from OXIMO – a manufacturer that knows its business.

Autumn – time to check the entire windshield cleaning system

If we are already in the workshop for the simple task of replacing the blades, and the customer notes shortcomings in the windshield cleaning system’s operation, it’s worth paying attention to other elements as well:

 
• an efficient washer system – poorly adjusted or clogged nozzles make the wiper’s job harder in tough conditions,

 

• cleanliness of the arms and hinges – fine dirt or corrosion can restrict movement, which can cause incorrect pressure,

a

• the condition of the wiper mechanism – slow operation of the electric motor or excessive play in the linkage responsible for moving the wipers can signal an impending failure

In autumn, it’s worth spending a few minutes on a full review of the system. It’s a small effort that will pay off during the next heavy rain – the driver will appreciate it, and the workshop will be remembered positively.

How to avoid wiper damage

Wipers are a consumable part, but their lifespan largely depends on the driver. The most common mistakes? Activating the blades on a frozen windshield, “forcing” them up in winter, or failing to clean the windshield regularly.

OXIMO suggests a simple rule: check the condition of customers’ wipers during every periodic workshop visit. It’s worth avoiding “dry running,” removing snow and ice from the windshield before activation, and not leaving the blades pressed against the glass during a long stop in freezing weather. Such small habits can significantly extend their life. Point these out to the customer when discussing wipers. We replace wipers when the customer sees or hears the need.
