We all know that with a curved windshield, about the only

Does there exist a "professional" window scraper
that somehow works as well as the credit card?


The scrapers I see (and have bought) have a rubber
squeege-thing on once side, and a hard plastic
"ice scraper" (I guess) on the other.


Would be fine with a 30=year old VW-Beatle, with
its perfectly flat winshield. *Or maybe with big
trucks or vans, if that's what they have.


But a passenger car -- heck, I get maybe one third
of an inch wide scraped area (if that).


Bloody useless!


Any ideas? *Any products that work on these
curved windows?


Thanks!

*I bet never uou saw a real curved winshield, they dont make them any
more, my 54 buick was actualy curved, . Old cars had curves
everywhere. Any scraper works- Hide quoted text -

An old CD or DVD case works well. Old credit cards are rare in the
states these days due to the banks cutting them up.- Hide quoted text -

Huh?

I can't recall a bank ever cutting up one of my cards. How would they
get a hold it in the first place?
