Possibly the dullest thread ever (sorry) - Best Screen Wash?
« on: December 17, 2012, 10:47:37 am »

Apologies for this one, but is there a really good screen wash that stands out, or are they all much of a muchness?  :indifferent: I'm running low, and I want to get a decent quality one.  :indifferent:

The VW one is all I ever use. Amazingly it's quite cheap too!

I find a mix of fairy liquid, glass cleaner and anti freeze works quite well!




















Only kidding !  :laugh:

I can highly recommend the Quantum Screenwash from TPS, as found in many VW dealerships  :happy2:

At only £2.69 for a 5L bottle of concentrate its a great bargain   :wink:

I was using auto gleam stuff (got it cheap) but now that's gone I was gonna try rain x stuff but considering how little you get £7 (think its a litre) then I'll be getting the VW stuff next at that price

Iv'e started using the stuff from Lidl http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lidl-screenwash-with-anti-freeze-5-99-for-5l-1351464

I think its very good, it protects down to -60 if you need & its made in Germany :jumpmove:

I use the VW stuff. I haven't a clue what ratio of fluid to water you're supposed to use, or if you're supposed to mix it with water at all??

I just stick some in and fill up with water, but I'm probably getting it completely wrong :confused:

If you take the bottle and gently peel off either the front or back label (cant remember which), it has the dilution ratios....

hope this helps

I might have known the Germans wouldn't have omitted this vital information.

Cheers!

....Most definitely worth you asking the question - It saves me starting a similar topic and embarrassing myself because this morning I was clearing space on the dining (kitchen) table to make room for the christmas tree and found a sachet of Granville screenwash I was given free a while ago but I don't know if it's good enough to use. Some screenwashes bung up the jets.

Anyone know about Granville, please?
