  • Winshield Wiper fluid

    What is the best windshield wiper fluid? Are there any additives that yall would suggest to go along with that fluid?

    I have tried RainX's additive and wasn't impressed... you add it to the blue stuff and all I could get it to do is haze the windshield. So I went back to straight blue.

    I do have some Turtle Wax 'Bug Juice' I bought on sale a few weeks ago, I am going to try soon.

      Whatever you get, make sure the fluid doesn't "eat away" the paintwork.

        since I have my black car it doesnt go out to play in the rain, and if it happens to be out and it starts to rain, then the rain water is all it gets, the windshield never gets dirty enough to where I would have to use something else

          This isnt for me. I never use the windshield wiper fluid because it streaks and just moves the dirt. Its for my brother.

            Has anyone tried Glass Cleaner Concentrate from the Detailer line? (diluted of course)

              I prefer to use Rain-X Bug Remover in the warmer months. Once the cold weather hits, I switch over to a de-icer fluid made by Prestone.

                I have tried a de-icer fluid and seemed it froze just as much as the regular blue stuff! Maybe there is a limit to its abilities and I was expecting to much out of it!?!? Don't remember the brand but it was a few years ago, I may have to give it another try.

                  I have used the Prestone De-Icer fluid down to very frigid temperatures, and have never had any significant problems. In fact, I find it to be great for those frosty mornings when I need to clear any icy build-up off of my windshield.

                  Another brand that I have had success with is Rain-X. You might want to try that also.

                  Between the two brands, I have not had either freeze in my reservoir or on the windshield.

                    Prestone Bug Wash for me. The bugs here are horrific and this stuff works great. Has a nice "Pine" scent as well. The only problem here is that this stuff is popular. I usually have to stash a couple of gallons in my storage shed just in case.
