You know the way you'd be a bit skeptical of all these products that swear miracles sometimes?

Well this one (liquid bottle) actually works, in fact it's frikkin awesome. Yes it's E10 a bottle but its so totally worth it!

I don't know what the FTO's wipers are like as standard but my car's ones are crap, prob bought in a pound shop at one stage!

It makes water form into droplets (like when rain hits a freshly waxed car) so that you don't have to use your wipers for ages. It's really easy to see through. Then when eventually you do, it all comes off in one simple swish.

If you have the luxury of doing 120 on one of our 'brilliant' motorways, you son't even need to use your wipers, it just streamlines up and over the roof.

So now, a product that works, endorsed by Laura :)

Also, you need only use a little bit on a cloth and it lasts for weeks, so a good price for a small enough bottle!

You will get the same effect using the PIAA wipers - they coat the screen in a silicon base that repels water.

Or.......invent something like they use on visors for helmets that you can peel off and throw away when it becomes too much. Though make sure theres no cars behind when you throw it.
Actually anyone ever seen an FTO with the wipers converted into one? I wonder would it look well.

UI often wondered in F1 where do they throw these? surely you can only peel and throw when in pit? If on the track would it not possibly get sucked into another car. Or hit the wheel etc.
