Yeah those wipers from this angle seems to be in Winter, mode. From that angle you took that picture it should not be that high on the windshield. Just give it a good tug downwards and it should pop into summer mode. The wipers should be flush and hiding under the hood.

Unfortunately this is the best my iPhone 6 camera can do.
For a longer lasting treatment use the GTechniq products. I have the Liquid Platinum also. It will have the clay bar feel and liquid look for a year or so. I did mine 6 months ago and nothing sticks (tar and bugs come right off). Use Panel Wipe, then an application of C1, then 2 coats of EVOx2. One day between each of the coats thus a 3 day job. Apply it to everything, glass, headlights, painted plastic, chrome. Everything but front side windows which already have a coating.

I know I sound like a commercial but really like this stuff. Expensive and a pain to apply but worth. Get the 50ml bottles, need it for the size of the car.
