Unless you live in the bayou and expect mud to be spilling all over your windshield while driving through the marshes, the windshield wiper fluid is really pointless. Just wash the car every week... :shock:

how about when you do a long trip hwy driving..?

and for inbetweens I can always stop at a gas station and use the squigy thing.

Are you allowed to use the squigy things in your state??!? Sure it isn't too technical, like pumping gas is.

Anyway, I use my washer often sometimes, when it rains a little bit, but the windshield isn't rinsed off really, and smudged. Or when it's dirty, washers help, especially in the winter.

My washer lines are plugged up. :( I let the tank go dry.

Rain-X is your friend...

I thought that was bad for your windshield???

What about bugs & shit? Just stop and squigy every time?

I usually don't have time to stop.....I'm in a hurry. That's why I am glad I have 5spd and torque.

No, rain-x is garbage. Its nice for about 2 days, after that its worthless, and makes your wipers streak really bad. Unless you apply the shit every other day you are screwed.

Just put a nice wax on it. I used to use meguiars Hi-tech yellow wax on my windshield and i never had any problems with it at all, never had to use my wipers

[e30evolution]

i applied aquapel almost a year ago, and my windscreen stays clean and the water just beads off of it..... plus i never use soap on my car, i use shampoo..... it doest remove the existing wax on the car, plus it has a wax in it

I personally much prefer new wipers.

Maybe I missed this, but what did you paint your valve cover/intake manifold with? I like that finish.

Looks good.

Krinkle paint.

About that.. What's the drying method you used for it? If my memory serves me correct, I thought you had to pop them in an oven for the paint to set.. I could be wrong though.

Help me out. :)
