Good tip!

I take a tiny amount of 303 protectant on a cotton ball, wipe it on the blade............ let it sit for a few seconds, and take the cotton ball and wipe any excess off the blade. Seems to work fine, and because I change my blades every year before winter sets in, it's all I need.

A guy at work said he wipes them with a rag wet with brake fluid. He said it cleans and softens the rubber. I don't think I would do it on my truck but I would give it a try on one of our work trucks.

Brake fluid and paint don't mix

I would keep the brake fluid off your windshield wipers. If the brake fluid gets on your paint, you're gonna have problems.
