I bought these top notch wipers that came with some sealed soaks of water repellent, which I've used and they've worked great for few months but now it seems most of the stuff has worn out and whatever is left attracting more dirt then ever before. Obviously it needs to be completely removed with something else. Would rubbing alcohol do the trick in this case or are there specialized fluids one can use here?
I'd love to re-apply more water repellent stuff because it works great but the old stuff needs to be completely gone first.
Any ideas?

Apparently a BMW Service Bulletin names Bon Ami as the solution for noisy wipers and tt's also supposed to be not harmful to the environment.
BMW Service info names Bon Ami
