You’ve just pulled out of the car wash and noticed a plastic sleeve wrapped around your rear wiper. Was it an accident? A weird ritual? Not at all—it’s actually a brilliant little trick that protects your car and keeps your wipers working perfectly.
At uniwiper, we’re all about wiper blade care—so let’s break down why this happens and how it benefits you.
3 Reasons Car Washes Wrap Your Rear Wiper
1. Prevents Damage from High-Powered Dryers
Automated car washes use industrial-strength blowers that can:
✔ Bend or snap the rear wiper arm (repairs cost 50-150!)
✔ Loosen the wiper’s mounting over repeated washes
The plastic acts like a seatbelt—keeping your wiper secure against the forceful air.
2. Stops the Blade from Sticking to Your Window
A wet wiper left on glass can:
✔ Leave rubber residue that causes streaks
✔ Tear prematurely from sticking and peeling away
The wrap keeps the blade lifted until dry—ensuring a clean swipe when you need it.
3. Shows the Car Wash Cares About Details
This small step proves they:
✔ Understand how wipers work
✔ Prevent avoidable damage (saving you money!)
✔ Deliver a truly thorough clean
Should You Do This at Home?
While you don’t need plastic for hand-washing, you should:
✔ Lift the wiper away from the glass when drying
✔ Check for wear—stiff or cracked blades smear and scratch
✔ Replace old blades before they damage your window
Pro Tip: If your rear wiper chatters, skips, or leaves streaks, it’s time for a new one!
