Lets not forget to keep filling up the winter washer fluid.. I kept forgetting over the last couple days .. I had to put in a full bottle that was 4L and that barely brought it to the top !!

Haha, how timely, I just filled up as well this afternoon. I use the MotorMaster purple Teflon stuff. Pretty good stuff for crappy tire brand and cheap too. :smile:

:lol: thats so funny .. i used the EXACT same stuff. It works great and is protected up to -45 (which wouldn't take much when its -30 with windchill and then you're going 100 clicks in the highway)

I still use RainX. I love it..

The only problem I have with it, is if you use too much, it leaves a distinct coating on your windsheild.

Not bad in the day. But it gives a WICKED glare at night. Makes it hard to see..

interesting. I didn't know they have a winshield washer fluid .. Is it suppose to repel water and all that fun stuff like their glass cleaner ?

RainX is awesome, the rain just beads off your windshield so you don't even need your wipers. I didn't know they had a winter version though.

So you guys recommend that Teflon winter windsheild fluid then eh? I seen it in the Crappy Tire flyer for $2.99

What does the regular every day stuff cost normally?

I think the normal stuff is like $2 usually ?? but I could be wrong. Yeah the teflon stuff is cool. It has all sorts of chemicals n shit in it and breaks up ice and snow really good.

Cool.. well I just used up my last bottle of the regular stuff so I'll pick up the teflon fluid next time around...

Has anyone ever done research before if windsheild washer fluid does any damage to your paint? I've just wondered because when you spray it, some always goes up on over the car...

That's a good point, I've always wondered what the effects may be. I'm assuming and hoping that it's totally safe or else there would be a lot of lawsuits running around.

ya but if it takes all the salt,snow and ice off the window its probably safe to say it strips the wax/polish off the car.

I just hate using the windsheild washer fluid 'cause it leaves all the dried fluid about 3 inches wide on each side of the windsheild that the wipers cannot reach and it looks like absolute hell.

I've just accepted my car will look like ass in the winter. I was at pete's when we were going to SpeedoRama and my car was so bad that the lights didn't work cause the front was COVERED in salt.
