Default Help with wipers jumping

Ever since I went through a car wash after getting work done I've been dealing with the wipers jumping across the window.

It don't matter how wet the window is. The wipers on now i just put on 2 weeks ago and that didn't help at all.

I've tried cleaning the window with dish soap, Someone recommended degreaser, neither one worked tried the clay bar. That got dirt off but they still skip. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm using PIAA blades if you are wondering http://www.piaa.com/store/c/28-Wiper-Blades.aspx

Have you cleaned the blades with alcohol? That should help.

I read somewhere a solution if new blades/cleaning doesn't help, twisting the wiper arms just a bit. Maybe they are not making the proper contact with the glass, causing the skip?

Sounds like they don't like whatever product was in that car wash. I'm not sure how to get wax off, but maybe you could ask the car wash operator. You're probably not the first person to experience this.
