Intermittent Wiper Solution?

Has anyone come up with a good intermittent wiper solution? Other than the obvious finger of course.
Thanks,

AFI has a high tech solution that uses just one rocker switch- their part number 76030 (single) 76035 (twin).

Here's the West Marine page-

I haven't done it yet but I always thought the best solution would be a momentary switch down by the floor I could push with my foot. Not the same as programmed intermittent but with no gas or brake pedals my feet got nothing to do anyway.

I'm always tapping my feet with the stereo, so my wipers would then my wipers would be in synch with the music. That might be cool! Mr. Green

This is what I did. There is another on the other side of the cuddy opening for the port wiper.

Thanks for the replies guys. The West Marine solution is nice but the $200 is a little steeper than what I would like to pay. The foot-activated switch is a good idea as well but I still would like something more automated.

I found a straight forward intermittent-wiper circuit diagram online and have decide to build one myself. If it looks good, I'll post the results.
Thanks again for the replys.
