Anyone know how to keep the wiper arms from turning kinda white? I'm sure other people have this problem and I'm not sure what to do! I'm not sure if it's from washing it too much or just wear and tear.

Just take them off and repaint them. Krylon flat black will work. Just lightly scuff the wiper arms so the paint sticks better.

I found that Turtle Wax Ice will make them look nice for about a week.

combination of UV/road debris/oxidation causes the fading...

I would go with the krylon method previously mentioned

I'll try repainting them. I was doubting the paint would work but since some of you have done this I guess it's worth a shot. Thanks for the input!
