Squeegee for car windshield?
« on: November 23, 2009, 08:22:17 AM »
I'm hoping you car folks might know-
Gas stations have better squeegees because the rubber strip is wider and more flexible than what's available in parts stores.  Anyone know where to get a good one like tha gas stations have?  (the station attendants have no clue, so far)

Check  out a good hardware store. I use one that has a red rubber blade that is specifically for window cleaning. Works very well.

 Ask some of the local vagrant Squeegee kids standing on street corners, they probably know  :P

I don't know if it helps, but I always saved one of the wiper blades when I changed em and used that when I washed my car at home.
