I actually bought new wiper arms yesterday. I did think about spraying them, but there was some corrosion.
So when my new aero style arms arrive I will post here :-)

Owned the car since 2012 and it’s a daily driver.
Even though you never see where the money has gone.
The way I look at it is that I am replacing iffy/broken parts with new.
Hopefully that in return gives you some future proofing and makes the car a bit more reliable.
I also like to have the complete car’s history.
All documented and recorded.
