Before turning off the car, turn on the wipers and switch off the ignition when wipers are in vertical position resting on the windshield and remove the key. Pull the wipers away from the screen. You can then wash the car and then put them back on the screen after washing. DON'T turn the ignition on when wipers are away from screen or you'll damage paint on the hood.

Don't unscrew the wiper arm fastening nuts and force the arms to move - you will damage the splines and most likely your wipers will not work no matter how tight you make the nuts.
It is possible to lift the wipers, from the rest position, to clean the blades and area without damaging the hood.
