Windscreen treatment

[Dominic]

I've ordered the PIAA silicon one to try.
Hope it's good, over £32 for one wiper blade is pretty steep.

Did you only order one? What happens when the passenger blade goes over the area cleaned by the silicon one, assuming it does? Two is definitely your best bet otherwise you'll have three different areas on your screen, a nice bit where the silicon one is on it's own, the middle ground where the silicon one wipes and the non silicon one overlaps (not sure how that'll turn out), and the third area with just the non silicon which will probably be dragging some of the coating from the silicon one and smearing it across the passenger side or alternatively wiping off the coating in the overlap area.

I had two on the Evo from when I bought it in 2006 and they were still on it (and still effective) when I sold it this year so in my book they were a bargain....

If the Evora is the same as the elise / exige, it will have a single wiper,.... honestly, bloody non Lotus owners!

Hope Don is blushing, all Elises, Exiges, Evoras, are single blade.

Ah OK that's fine then, Kenny carry on as you were.

It's always been hard to make out how many wipers a car has when it's in your rear view mirror.............
And wet trackdays they are normally all parked up in the garages.

Lol.
I once made the mistake of googling bukkake.
Ruined for life.....

I must be old fashioned as have always been satisfied with straightforward shagging.

ps:- ok, may have strayed off the path unitentionally in Bangkok.

Possibly time for a new wiper?

One of my pals (a very good mechanic) had always strongly advised against putting rainx on the windscreen for road use. He says it's fine for a week or two, but then just gets very smeary as the wipers wear it off. I use rainx on my side windows to great effect, but never used it on the windscreen.

Autoglym glass polish has worked well for me.

dom.... thats because you, like me, only need it on the side windows

[bertieduff]

Great pictures Dom. To be fair to Donald however...(clicky)

[Dominic]

Thanks for that Bertie! My one and only ever spin, and some smart arse has to catch it on camera ,.... still proving my point, I was out in the rain

[flyingscot68]

What is that? A micra?

[Dominic]

What is that? A micra?

Black car at the start?.. a clio I think

[flyingscot68]

Lol. Thought it was a Micra.

I've fitted the PIAA wiper, 1off, Cheers BigD
I'll see how it goes, not driven the Evora since.

Were those pics from Tuttowers Dom? That was the most fun we've ever had in the rain on track in a Caterham! We were absolutely drenched but it was awesome! Had to brace yourself going into the hairpin as when the wheel turned into the corner it was like a bucket of water being thrown over you! Lol! Good times.

T'was indeed TT.

Yea, I know what you mean about the water,... I think I got dripped on at one point!
