In warmer climates, water may also work, but it can freeze in colder climates, damaging the pump. Although automobile antifreeze is chemically similar to windscreen wiper fluid, it should not be used because it can damage paint. The earliest documented idea for having a windscreen wiper unit hooked up to a windscreen washer fluid reservoir was in 1931, Richland Auto Parts Co, Mansfield, Ohio. [22] [23] Uruguayan racecar driver and mechanic Héctor Suppici Sedes developed a windscreen washer in the late 1930s. [24]Other early designs for the windscreen wiper are credited to Polish concert pianist Józef Hofmann, [2] and to Mills Munitions, Birmingham, who also claimed to have been the first to patent windscreen wipers in England. Considering that wiper blades not only help you see the road ahead more clearly but are also part of your car’s MOT requirements, it’s important that you maintain them to a high standard.
