FL windshield wiper assembly

Haven't even had my car for a year--keep it garaged at night. The windshield wiper assembly is faded and dull. Suggestions?

mothers back to black or ICE wax. Never use ICE on the paint, it sucks.. but it is great for the black parts of the car

Tom, I assume you're talking about the wiper arm itself, and not the actual assembly which can be seen here right? http://www.finishlineperformance.com...cat=273&page=2

If you need the assemblies(what I linked), I think I have a good pair in my garage. Got any pre-mix left?

Actually, I better go look and see....those may be for my daughters 3, now that I think about it.

I use the same stuff i use to protect my dash. You will actually be surprised on the finish!

I first clean the black plastic with water/windex. Then spray rag with leather/dash protectant and rub in a circular motion. I also do this to my windshield wiper arms, and any black parts that are plastic. The difference is amazing!!!!!

I tried it on my Moms Mazda 6 first to make sure it wouldnt mess up the coating! lol It works GREAT!!!!

And we have that nasty Florida sun, and it works everytime!!
