Ecocut - great idea or dreadful?

My wipers "fail" in 1 of 3 ways.

Dirt causing streaking. Solution, clean wiper with sponge.

Grease causing "skimover" rather than water clearing. Solution, clean wiper with soapy sponge.

Tearing. Solution, replace wiper.

I really have never experienced any problem that only this product could solve. Even for free, I think I'd never use it.

I think you might be underestimating the sheer genius of mgv8's pun.

I do the same generally, clean the wipers every so often with some IPA or meths on a bit of cloth. I guess this could be useful if your wipers were very pitted on their leading edge though.

YOUR NOT TOO STUPID TO DO IT YOURSELF!

[pedantic] but are too stupid to know the difference between your and you're? [/pedantic}

sorry couldn't help it lol (apologies if it was subtle irony lol)

There's always one ready to derail a thread because of a grammatical error, unfortunately my phones predictive text tends to do whatever the f**k it likes, I only tend to bother correcting the REALLY stupid stuff it does.....

I was gently ribbing you (and I wasn't the only one), hardly thread derailment, but hey ho

Sounds like a good idea if it works, at €13 it's certainly cheaper than even one set of wipers on most cars, so even if you only use it once it pays for itself.

funnily eough, bought my last pair of Bosch wipers from Halfrauds for £10!
they had a sale on at the time, some pairs were actually £5 !

Seriously? People are that tight?

This is just stupid on an epic scale, it's not hard to replace wipers, you don't need to take out a small mortgage and pay Halfrauds to do it, despite what the TV adverts say YOUR NOT TOO STUPID TO DO IT YOURSELF!

Next they'll be selling re-cutting tools your tyres or a reconditioning kit for your car battery, includes acid, a safety knife and a brush for cleaning the lead plates.

Or how about a dye that changes the colour of your engine oil to make it look fresh? Or a device for taking the lip off heavily worn brake discs? Maybe a dynamo you can position against one of your tyres to save having to replace a faulty alternator?

The list of stupid really does go on........

I really can't tell if you're trying to be funny or not.

I think he might be a really poker faced troll.

Wiperblades are getting greasy?... solution cut the greasy bit off !

& to think all these years I've just been wiping them clean on a piece of cloth for free!!!

I think they actually mean "smeary" rather than "greasy".

Fresh new wiper blades that just work perfectly are one of those simple pleasures in life for me. If this actually worked I'd give it a go.

Have you been under an unusual amount of pressure recently?

[aka_kerrly]

How much are some of you paying for your wiper blades and how often do you replace them!!?

I picked up some aero type wipers from Wilkinsons for £3 each which appear to be doing a fine job.
