Another vote for the vinegar cleaning option, worked wonders on the crabmobile.

If you need new blades, wiperblades.co.uk are selling 'aero retrofit' wipers, I bought some (cheapest anyway) and they're just brilliant.

another vote here for the retrofit aero blades.(if required obviously) first clean windscreen using vinegar and news paper,then wipe the blades clean. if they still smear replace them.

a old wife tale method is pour a can of cola on your windscreen and that works as well.
How to Remove Windshield Streaking

Many of us have this problem with streaking when an unexpected rain storm arrives, however, it is a very simple fix with a product I am sure all of you are familiar with.


Steps

1. Purchase a can/bottle of your favorite soda pop (Pepsi is recommended).
2. With the wipers on low speed pour the product on the entire windshield.
3. In a few seconds all the road grime will be gone and you windshield will be crystal clear.(This will not damage your paint, but should be rinsed to remove any residue)
4. Continue your trip with a much better view of the road.

White vinegar , meths or turps I find cleans wipers

Personally I wouldn't use turps on rubber. But that's my opinion
Isopropyle alcohol works too, it's also nice with orange squash!

Well i tried many solutions and they're slightly better, i might try the white vinegar solution again but do it right

Just an update, i bought some wipers off ebay and they seem to have solved the problem i had with the previous pair of wipers,

If you have any chips in your screen, you should only use vinegar on them..
