I think the black stuff that comes off of the wiper blades is actually the graphite that the blades are initially coated with to keep them from skipping and squeaking. A better solution MIGHT be to clean the blades and then run a 9b graphite pencil along the edge of the blades. Wd40 would work temporarily but as someone else said, it will degrade the rubber and it won't last.

Most people don’t know that the “WD” in WD-40 stands for ‘water displacement’. It was developed for minimizing ice buildup on liquid fuel rockets external tanks. It just happens to have lubricant properties as well as being hydrophobic. This is a great use for it since that is what it’s designed for as long as you rub it in well so as not to leave streaks of it on your windshield.

Rain X rocks!! I remember a situation recently where my wiper arm broke, but I had to get to my next destination. I stopped and purchased Rain X. Dried my window to the best of my ability and spread it liberally all over the windshield and left some of the residue on purpose. I proceeded to my destination, and the wind from driving literally kept my windshield very clear, enough to get where I was going without a problem. I'm not advocating people do this, but it really worked well. You can imagine how it works in conjunction with the wipers. BTW, I love WD 40, it has so many hidden uses that are truely amazing, good tip by the way. It's also a great hand cleaner in a pinch, just a quick tip from a mechanic. And I'm sure that last comment wiil trigger some people about skin cancer and heaven knows whatever else, but what these days isn't going to kill us. I'm 70 and still going strong inspite of all the things I shouldn't have done. I'll go when I'm good and ready.

This will work for a short period, but eventually you need to replace the blades as the edges get rounded and will not act as a squeegee for removing the water from your windshield as designed.

[@patreekotime4578]

RainX depends alot on the angle of the glass and the amount of rain. On cars with a really low angle and a light rain, the water is repelled into fine droplets which do not weigh enough to roll off the glass. The result is blinding glare with street lights or traffic lights at night. Far worse than any potential visibility problem from general rain. Because of that I think of it as a product for my side windows and mirrors only.

This is bad advice and will only work well temporarily. WD40 is mostly made of petroleum distillates and oil. These 2 ingredients will accelerate the breakdown of any rubber product. Sure, applying it to wiper blades will remove caked up debris and lubricate them to slide easily over the glass windshield (even with no water present), but the rubber compound of the blade will degrade and crack quicker. You will be disappointed at the short lifespan of your wipers, especially if you paid $30+ for the pair. The best way to maintain your wiper blades is to apply soapy water with a scrounge pad to remove caked up debris then wipe a silicone lubricant on the blade with a cotton rag. Ironically, WD40 also makes a silicone lubricant in a spray can. Silicone won’t breakdown rubber like petroleum distillates and oil will.

Water Displacement. I lived in upstate NY for 4 years, very harsh cold winters and can tell you that using WD40 in my doorlocks was a life saver. Door handles too. Otherwise they can snap off in subzero temps, I knew someone who BOTH doorhandles snapped off! So yes WD40 might have solvent properties but mostly keeps water off things that are coated with it. Even doors at home use it in the keyholes periodically to keep things working.

WD40 is not a good idea to use; it might have a short perceptive feeling that it cleans, but in reality WD40 removes the graphite properties on wiper rubber, thus killing its cleaning effectiveness over time. WD40 is not meant for rubber products. Use soap water, Rain-X or any other similar product for this. Misleading video.

This is funny, but in all seriousness, WD40 is supposed to relieve joint pain if used as a lotion.

WD-40 also takes off road tar from your car body when you drive over newly resurfaced roads. It also removes all kinds of adhesives, like those left over after removing a bumper sticker and even floor adhesive when laying new floor tiles, when the adhesive comes up between the joints. I don't think it cures arthritis, though I could be wrong on that.

I would use silicone spray instead of WD-40 (however, the WD-40 brand has a silicone version). Silicone is always recommended for rejuvenating rubber (power window seals for less strain on the motor, for example). WD-40 may not be "bad." But, I don't think you're getting the full benefit for the effort. Silicone should preserve the life of the rubber more.

[@gertverhoeven]

I agree, it is all about chemistry. WD-40 will work perfectly but you will have to repeat it more and more. Why? It attract dust particles, ever wondered why serious bikers hate it for there chains? WD-40 is the perfect example; the less people know about the chemistry, the more they will have to keep on spraying and buying the product! Kaching!!! This guy in the video must have been stoned; cause he called it a "de-greaser". Guess he never used rubbing alcohol before he sprayed a knew later of greasy WD-40?
