Windshield wipers can cause wear on windshield protection film over time, especially if the windshield isn’t cleaned regularly or if the wiper blades are worn. Deteriorated wiper blades can be abrasive and scratch the film during use. In addition, airborne contaminants that collect on parked windshield wipers can be dragged across the film during the next wiper swipe.
However, most high-quality films are designed to be scratch-resistant and withstand normal use. Keeping both the film and your wiper blades clean can help extend the life and clarity of the film.
Minor damage to the film’s top coat can be addressed by using Bray Group’s Maintenance Wipes. These specially formulated wipes, when used regularly, prolong the life of the material as they restore the film’s protective top coat.
