I noticed something with my windshield and the wipers. The wipers don't glide on the glass smoothly. I don't think it's the rainX, infact I know it's not the rainX but I can't seem to know what's causing the wipers to do that. They wipers are brand new, I guess they need breakin' in? Or maybe i need to wash my car? I don't know....

OK i washed the car, applied the rainX but the wipers still aren't gliding on the glass like they should. It's very annoying.
But the rainX is workin' becuase the water is running off like normal when you apply rainX to it.
Does anyone know what's probably causing this and how to get the to stop doin' what it does and glide smoothly on the glass?
The wipers kinda misses or "jumps" or "skips" on the glass so to speak.

they are new wipers and i don't have to be driving fast for it to happen.
Acutally, when I drive fast it doesn't happen, but if I'm drivin' slow or I come to a stop and it's rainin', then it'd act funny!

Rain-X is great, I use it on all windows and headlights. At speed with no traffic in front of me, I sometimes don't even need to use the wipers - the Rain-X lets the water run off faster than the wipers can clear it.
As to squeaky wipers - try using cheap rubbing alcohol to clean the edges. New wipers shouldn't need this, but it works on old wipers and may be worth a shot.

My friend put turtle wax on his windshield a while ago. I called him an idiot on laughed at him, but when I drove his truck in heavy HEAVY rain I didn't even think about turning on the wipers. The water was gone almost before it his the windshield. That was a very wild experience.
