perspex and wipers

[g agus t]

hi, just wondering can anyone give me advise. i want to put a wiper onto the perspex window of the boat. i have this feeling that it might scratch or damage the perspex. can anyone advise ?

Wipers and Perspex do not work well together.
You could check with the manufacturers to see if a grade of polycarbonate exists that is “wiper friendly”.
Most keep our screens waxed so water flies off under way.

hi jim what wax are you using on your warrior

Howya Willie,
I'm using Turtle wax "poly glaze". Great stuff - comes in a 5L - I keep a small bottle and soft rag on board.
I'd say everybody has their own favourite - rain dance - rainex - autoglym. The Turtle does a good job and lasts well.
I'd say the main thing is that there would be no grit in the wax (like compound) and the rag should be soft to avoid scratching.
