Windscreen: Used wipers twice
some smearing, but disappears quickly and smooth wiper operation

Some say apply IPA + repellant on wipers too to reduce judder/smear?

IPA is not good for rubber, it dries it out/causes it to go hard.

Detergent should be all you need to clean rubber.

If you get smearing on the windscreen due to grease, the best thing to use is wipe it with newspaper.

LED's have to be plugged in a certain way round yes (they're a one-way device) so I expect they have used red to indicate the anode.
