The stuff is called Rain-X

You could try cleaning or changing the wipers too.

Try Autoglym fast glass or glass polish, if you have no Autoglm try methalated spirits.

Simple and harmless handwash liquid has always done the trick for me. It's safe even for your hands, and is cheap as chips!

Good idea to clean your headlight covers too (with handwash liquids only!)

I used Mr Muscle Degreaser and then steam cleaned the windscreen and wipers. I can now see where I'm going.

rain-x thats the one .... I always clean the wiper blades with a sponge when i clean the car ... they dont look corroded ...... anyway its just had its 2 year service a few months back and they said they are okay ... i guess i shouldnt always beleive them but heh
