One great satisfaction for any driver is watching a dirty windscreen become crystal-clear at the touch of a finger.
Squeeze the lever, spray and voila!
There is, however, a small but important detail here, and that’s how these windscreen washers work.
Most cars have their windscreen washer jets mounted either on or near the bonnet. They spray cleaning fluid on the windscreen to mist the glass surface before the wiper arms can wipe them clear.

Mazda BT-50 Tech Drive: Maintaining Clear Visibility In Your BT-50 Whilst Driving Through Dust Watch on YouTube
Often overlooked but essential for clear visibility is your washer and wiper system. One standout feature is the pulsing jets activated when you hold the washer switch.

Today, we’re driving in some pretty dusty conditions, and dirt buildup around the stereo camera can impact the BT-50’s Advanced Driver Assist systems. Keeping this area clean is crucial for optimal performance.
I’m starting to notice some missed spots from the wipers, compromising visibility. For best performance, especially in conditions like this, replace your wipers regularly.
