Did the early 65 Hipo Mustangs have some sort of cosmoline or grease on the wiper motor and arms to protect them?
-
Have found lithium grease on the moving joints but not on the complete arms or motor- Not like they were exposed to the elements like later 69-up years
Plus not something the owner would see in their daily use of the car

I've seen original arms that looked like they were tacky and attracted dust/dirt and then others that were clean. The wiper motors usually look like they had a cosmoline coating. I'd say you can go either way with the arms.

Guess I was thinking of the thick heavy stuff rather than the tacky buy strip finish :(
