About this deal

Do you often find yourself driving in the rain and want to improve your safety on the road during those muddy days? Then this Washer Additive by Rain-X can become a real lifesaver in all senses of the word. It's a unique product with water-repellent properties that should be put into a washer reservoir each time the windscreen fluid is used. By doing so, you'll make your screen clearer than ever before and drastically improve its hydrophobic coating. This means you get not only a potent bug, dirt, tree sap, and grime fighter but also a water-repeller that will make raindrops to bead up and run off your windscreen. As a result, you won't need to use your wipers as often, thus improving your visibility on the road. What we also like about the Krafft Windscreen cleaner is that it's a ready-to-use solution that doesn't need to be mixed with water, preventing you from the messes and saving your time on the diluting process. One bottle includes 5 litres of fluid, which should be more than enough to get most car tanks full. Often experience problems with your washer jets working inappropriately or not working at all? Or, probably, the headlamp washer of your car has stopped to retract fully? Then, this BMW genuine windscreen cleaner can become a real lifesaver. The thing is that the fluid is suitable for use with fan nozzles, and i f there is some sort of build-up inside them, just a couple of squirts with this cleaning solution will fix the problem. For those who get irritated by having large part-bottles of wash fluids all around, the SONAX company has come up with the solution - the 250-ml tub of ultra-concentrated wash/car cleaning agent. A little bottle like this is far easier to store in the trunk of a small car or under the sink compared to bulky containers that never seem to match the actual tank size of your vehicle. Although the SONAX screen wash seems too expensive for the capacity, the high initial cost is easily offset by the amazing dilution ratio. Just 25 ml give 2.5 litres of cleaning fluid, which totals 25 litres for the bottle, making it a pretty decent value. Actually, it works out cheaper than 'ready to use' solutions sold at petrol stations and easily outperforms them when it comes to the cleaning power.

For those who're looking for a perfect alternative to "standard" car washers sold at petrol stations and supermarket, we've included the Krafft Methanol-Free Windscreen Washer Fluid onto our shortlist. Just as the name suggests, it's a h igh-quality windscreen cleaner that is free of methanol. It's based on organic tenso-actives and alcohols that deliver the same great cleaning results without affecting rubber and leaving any spots or streaks. The fluid deftly removes dirt, traffic film, insect stains, bird droppings and other build-ups from a car's windscreen, providing a driver with a crystal-clear view all year round. That is to say, despite being claimed to be suitable for up to -5ºC, the product is non-freezing up to -9º, which makes it good for use almost all year round, especially considering the UK climate, which is very mild. There are quite a few glass screen sealants...H2Go being just one of them. To give you some idea of how effective they are....2 coats of H2Go, after 3 months, driving in the rain at 20mph with no wipers on...the rain was shooting off my screen on its own accord. Just like most washers, the Rain-X n eeds diluting. In general, a 500-ml bottle will make up 4.5 litres of the mix for summer. For winter, it'll make up to 2 litres ( 2 parts water to 1 part of this additive will work for mild temperatures up to -5 °C, while 1-to-1 part will be sufficient for freezing -10°C). If you're after premium products for your four-wheeled friend, the Glimmermann Extreme Winter Fluid Screen Wash may catch your fancy. Glimmermann Products is a very respectable family-run company that supplies a professional range of automotive products both at trade and at retail levels, so if you believe that your vehicle deserves the best care and don't mind spending extra money for it, look no further than this car wash.

Just fitted fan jet washer nozels to the MX5 so had to drain the reservoir as it had the kind of washer fluid in it that crystallises. There was all sorts of carp in the bottom of the reservoir and the smell was truly rank! Fortunately you can take the reservoir out of the MX5, so it went in the dishwasher at 60C while she was at work Did run a cleaning cycle through afterwards to make sure there was no evidence

Below is a video we posted on our YouTube channel that shows us testing one of the screen washes. As you can see, it takes less than a minute to top up the screen wash and the bottle on this particular screen wash had an “easy-pour” spout that made pouring in the formula far easier and less messy. First we calculated the costs of each in their winter and summer mixes. For the former we chose coverage down to about -10C, where there was a choice of mixes. So, it seems that sealing all windows with something like Angelwax H2GO is a good idea. But if I do seal them then I should avoid screenwash with an alcohol base, and Sonax Xtreme Clear View Nano concentrate is recommended BUT for Summer use only? If they do a Winter version then I can't find it. Does one exist? Otherwise what other alcohol free screenwashes are good for sealed glass? As well as testing and our experience of using multiple screen washes, we also based our recommendations on the latest research and a number of factors. Some of the factors that we took into consideration included the formula’s type, seasonal use, freezing point, effectiveness and value for money. Conclusion As mentioned, it's a highly-concentrated cleaning additive with a mixing ratio of 1:100. Therefore, you'll be able to make 5 litres of windscreen washer fluid from a 50-ml bottle of concentrate, giving you the same value as other bargain washer fluids. The only exception is that this genuine BMW fluid cleans so immaculately that you may want to touch the window to make sure there is glass in front of you.When it comes to cooler months, it works down to -20°C. For the highest protection during the most freezing of days, it should be used neat, while -16°C requires 1:2 proportion and -12°C requires 1:4 proportion correspondingly, which is still a great ratio for washer fluids. The only negative about wiper fluid blends is that they normally contain ethanol or methanol that are far from being friendly to our health and environment. However, despite the toxicity, driving without windscreen washers in the extreme weather is far more dangerous. Hence, it is certainly the case when safety benefits outweigh potential risks.
