I had it MOTed yesterday and the bloody examiner went through it like a fine tooth comb try as he may he could...

wiper blades

Yes they are. Mostly towards the top of the Blade. They are definitely

made by the blades , the marks follow the arc or sweep of the blades.

Wiper blades

Sorry I probably didn't explain or describe the problem very well. The marks are tracking marks left by the wiper blades. I tried Autoglym glass polish without success. Perhaps as you say it may well be the result of 10 years of wiping in the same place over and over again. Thank you for your help. ...

Wiper Blade marks

The cars nearly 10 years old It's definitely not dirt.

The marks are not scratches as such.

The best way i can describe them they are like impressions left by the

blades as they travel across a dry windscreen.

like lines on the same line and arc of the blade travel.

Wiper Blades

Wiper Blade marks on windscreen can't seem to polish them out.

The actual blades themselves seem to be ok.

Anyone any suggestions?.

In future I'll change ...
