how are you controlling non-parking wipers?

I found some 24v American Bosch wiper motors on ebay, NOS. I got them both for $100 shipped and mounted them today. I could not use the green case, so I am remoting the capacitor and the other part to under the dash. I hooked them up to power today, and they seem pretty solid, and they are really small compared to other retrofits I have seen. 135 degree sweep. They are non-parking wipers, so I need separate switching for each one. My original plan was to stop the drivers wiper when it was high/right and then manually park the passenger's side from the exterior. When the power is off, I cannot manually rotate the wiper, so I need separate switching. Does anyone know of a clean switch which would do both? I bought a DPDT, center off switch, and can wire it so up is both wipers, down is driver's wiper, and center is off.

Edit; I had to delete the link since it synched into my ebay account. When I get time I will post some pictures of the wiper motors.

I have the same setup, I just park the blades when they are towards the centre pillar of the windscreen and have a separate switch for both, I have yet to get my butt into gear and source some self parking model units but seeing as my current wiper motors work fine then there is no hurry at all.
