This is my first winter with the yellow one and I'm noticing that the windscreen is seemingly really prone to collecting road filth. I get that if something big goes past in the opposite direction you cop for a face full, however on Sunday we went to elvington air museum in temeraire in virtually identical conditions to today and even on the dual carriageway round York I didn't need to wash the screen once and yet this morning on a country road that is equally dry I have had to wash my screen 4 times already yet there's only been 2 cars going in the opposite direction. Is it worth looking at one of those leading edge plastic spoiler things, do they work on a jimny? Leviathan the cruiser came with one and doesn't seem to have a problem but I don't have a point of reference for if it's the plastic thing doing something or if the cruiser is just a clean car by design?

l've never noticed the need to wash the screen more frequently in our Jimny. However l am comparing it to my Defender which is effectively the same vehicle but larger!
l would imagine the deflector will only work at higher speeds.
So of all the ones I have seen they all appear to be chip protection rather than deflectors as in there's no obvious aero element to them like a little vertical spoiler or suchlike. Am I missing something or are they all like that?

Forgive me for asking but what products are you looking at? Is this a windscreen deflector? I didn't know you could get something like that. I only know of the bonnet guards which we have on ours which is designed for chips.
