Does anyone have a suggestion for wiper lubricant? I am in a salt water environment, and they have are always problematic.

Also, has anyone installed a speed control for their wipers? I hate the F1 speed of mine!

Your thoughts are appreciated!
 
I'm no expert, but have been a big fan of https://boeshield.com/marine/ for many years. Seems to dry to a fairly protective and slick coating, leaves no mess.
 
One key improvement is to remove the plastic cover on the outside where the arm attaches to the motor. I did that as recommended by Gansett Ranger and it makes a big difference. The salt and crud no longer build up and the salt water flushes out when you rinse things off. Rain-x Is also good as well. No need to use the wipers.
 
We find “rain-ex” to be doing a great job on our Ranger. The sea water doesn’t stick, just runs right off. The same brand sells a “fog- ex” for inside. It too works well.
