> Wiper blades, eh? They're your first line of defence against rain, road grime, and anything else that tries to blur your vision.

• Streaks messing up your view?
• Wipers making a racket?
• Rubber looking worse for wear?
• Water not clearing properly?
• Seeing less than you should in the wet?

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, a quick yarn about doing it safely and properly:
• Safety First, Mate: Even a quick job needs a clear head. Don't start if you're tired or distracted.
• Windscreen Wash: Give your windscreen a good squirt with quality Windscreen Washer Fluid to loosen any stubborn grime before fitting the new blades. No point in putting new blades on a dirty screen!
• Glass Cleaner: Once the new blades are on, give the windscreen a final once-over with Glass Cleaner and a Microfibre Towel for a streak-free finish. Sorted!
• Cleanliness Counts: Keep a Microfibre Towel handy to wipe down the wiper arms before fitting the new blades. A clean surface ensures a good fit.
Fitment Notes
Double-check you've got the right size and type for your car. Some cars, especially Audis, have fancy attachments that need a bit of extra attention.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Windshield Protection: When the wiper arm is bare, place a folded towel on the windscreen to prevent the spring-loaded metal arm from snapping down and cracking the glass.
• Clear Vision Prep: Clean the windscreen thoroughly with a high-quality Glass Cleaner and microfibre cloth before installing the new blades to remove road film.
• Windscreen Wash: Top up your washer reservoir with a quality windscreen wash additive to keep your screen smear-free.
