Clogged Winshield Washers
The washers on my 2002 LS430 are clogged.
Each nozzle has 3 holes.
On the drivers side only 1 out of 3 work
On the passenger side only 2 out of 3 work.
What should I use to clean out the nozzles?
Name of the chemical?
and also, how do i clean them out?
Do I use the chemical on the tips of the nozzles or put the chemical in the resivor tank.
Thanks.

They could be clogged by wax (did you wax the car lately?) In that case, use toothpick to clear the nozzles. Rub some dish detergent into the nozzles also helps since it can dissolve wax.

This happened to my lexus too. I just took a sewing pin and worked them over a little. I should have done a better job though because now one of them sprays too high on the windshield.

If you stick a pin or something narrow enough to go into the hole you can aim each individual hole. I used the vinegar and water approach to unclog mine. It worked great
