car windscreen cleaners..

joz*garage — Sun, 12 Jan 2014 08:16:33 GMT

on my way home on this scorching 41+ degrees day the air-cond swtiched on in lukecool mode, i pulled up behind a few cars at a set of lights

i saw a young couple red raw racing up and down sweat pouring off them cleaning windscreens

the most ridiculous thing ive seen for a long time, shaking my head hoping they wont get to me by the time the lights turn green

i cant stand them at the best of times, they annoy the heck out of me.......

Few hrs here, few hrs there and a big up yours to the tax man sounds good to me 😄

They used to be everywhere within the city limits Joz. Mayor Giuliani cleaned them all out and then Bloomberg let them back in. Who the H needs their winscreen cleaned? The only time I need one is when they salt the roads for ice. The salt spray puts a film on the windscreen making it hard to see.

That's what washer fluid is for, but when that runs out and the sun is shining it's hard to see through. (blinding really). Where are they then? Nowhere to be seen, lol.

HaHa... I caught the good day pom too.

Even if it's dirty, don't you have washer fluid in the wipers?

I don't tip them often, but a while back there was a guy walking the traffic asking for money (not even cleaning windscreens) and I like his attitude...he didn't get too intrusive, just the opposite. I gave him a twenty and his reaction was worth every penny.

Yes I would not like to find myself having to wash windscreens to get by.

Not as much Gina Rinehart.

joz*garage — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 04:08:34 GMT

theres an idea polk

i thought of blowing the horn at them, but.. that might have an opposite affect and attract them!

jim i dont add any washing liquids in the wiper water bottle, cos i reckon treated water should be rinsed off after

unless you hotted it up with another injector
