Owners of classic motorcars frequently do not use their motorcars every day. The majority of the time these classic motorcars are kept in the garage under covers, this is because these motorcars are more than just machines to get you from A to B, they are seen as treasured possessions. These classic motorcars are so treasured they only usually get used on those sunny days, but with the English weather these are not very common and often interrupted by sudden downpours. This is when the owners of the classic motorcars find out their wiper blades are in a poor condition and not clearing the rain from the wind shield, this is normally not due to wear as performance wiper blades will typically last a million cycles.

What normally causes the wiper blades on these classic motorcars to be damaged is their exposure to the cold, UV radiation, ozone and chemicals that are normally used in screen wash. This causes damage and blades can continue to deteriorate even when the vehicle is in storage during the winter months. However, the main cause of the damage to the wiper blades is not the UV radiation, ozone, or the chemicals which slowly damage the rubber used in many replacement wiper blades when the vehicle is in storage, as these tend to cause most damage in the summer months when the vehicle is being used. This only leaves the cold to damage the wiper blades, as the cold causes the rubber used in almost all performance wiper blades to stiffen and this causes cracking and fracturing, which in turn can cause the windshield wiper motor performance to be severely compromised and even cause the wiper blade to break when being used. Unless you are very rich and can afford a heated automobile house, the only option open to you

is to use replacement wiper blades that are created of a material other than rubber. They also need to be not damaged by the cold and also ozone, UV radiation and chemicals used in screen wash.

Rubber wiper blades are not really an economic option for classic motorcars, as they are getting damaged when the vehicle is in storage and therefore having to be replaced once a year, even though they have only been used for a few days at most. What material that is resistant to the cold, UV radiation, ozone and chemicals can be formed into wiper blades and will perform as well or better than rubber at clearing rain and muck from wind shield? There is a material that can be formed into replacement wiper blades and works better than rubber at clearing rain and muck from front windows, as well as being resistant to the cold, UV radiation and chemicals, this material is extruded silicone. With extruded silicone able to work in temperatures as low as -60? C and up to 250? C they can work happily in even the coldest of our British winters. They also have other advantages over rubber performance wiper blades as normally silicone wiper blades will last 3 to 5 times longer. They also offer smoother and quieter operation, which means squeak free wind shieldwipe time and time again. Silicone performance wiper blades are normally a little more costly than traditional rubber wiper blades, but with their advantages in smooth and quiet operation over their life, any extra expensewill soon be made back without even yet considering the advantages of them being resistant to the cold, UV radiation, ozone and chemicals like salt and screen wash.
