Alfadog Posted June 2, 2004 Share #1 Posted June 2, 2004 I'm looking for this little stainless steel part for my windscreen wipers. The other day I took them both off to polish them. However, some of the little parts are pretty bad after 30 years. After a good polish they came out well though. However, there's one bit that's bugging me with its dirtiness. Have a look at the picture. I was wondering, is there anywhere I can buy these new (not a generic hardware store one), or has anyone got a good clean one spare they could part with?

Alfadog Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share #2 Posted June 2, 2004 By the way, this is what you get after an hour or two of polishing!! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/12028-looking-for-a-windscreen-wiper-part/#findComment-83662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Pugh Posted June 2, 2004 Share #3 Posted June 2, 2004 Lachlan, I did this to my wipers on my HK wagon back in 78. Looks great but after two weeks I painted them black to stop the sun glare. Hope it works out better for you. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/12028-looking-for-a-windscreen-wiper-part/#findComment-83667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfadog Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share #4 Posted June 2, 2004 Alan, I thought of that, but I polished the wipers on my Z too (or at least I think I did.. im getting old!) and never had that problem. Hopefully the angle of the wipers on the K are similar so that I dont get the glare...

Alfadog Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share #6 Posted June 2, 2004 Craig, I used a brand called Autosol Metal Polish. Comes in a 250mL white bottle. It's really great stuff IMO, I cant stop polishing things........
