Rain-X is a well-known brand for its water repellent, and the company offers its own windshield washer fluid. The 2-in-1 all-season formula works against light snow and ice, effective to -25°F (-31°C) while powering off bugs, road grime, and salt. Along with melting precipitation, this windshield washer fluid also applies Rain-X technology to the windshield, giving it a hydrophobic protectant to help bead water. It is formulated with de-ionized water for improved visibility and streak-free cleaning. But it did work well in the freezer, going some way to justifying the cost, lasting a decent two hours.
