This may sound nuts, but seriously.... Brake fluid.

my 56 pats wipers were trying but deathly slow and weak. On the advice of a neighbor and fellow classic car enthusist, i put an ounce or two worth of regular old DOT 3 brake fluid into the wiper motor using a short hose, and let it sit for twenty minutes. After waiting i reconnected, and couldnt believe the difference! It was like a compleely different motor.

he said he had useed it with great sucess on his own late 40s Plymouth.
