Possibly the dullest thread ever (sorry) - Best Screen Wash?

[Mk5 GTian]

Oh, so it was worth asking the question then. Thanks chaps. Quantum it is!

....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?

Doesn't he work for Arkwright?

....Yeh, any liquid which glows in the dark is possibly radio-active and is best avoided!

Been using this stuff for years. Cheap and does what it's supposed to do :)

There was a thread asking this over on DW.
Think the general concencous was either Vw stuff or Lidl offering.

I used to love it, when Arkwright was perving at Nurse Gladys, with Granville getting his fingers nipped by the temperamental till! Classic indeed RR!

The 5L Quantum is great for the price. I also bought a 1L bottle for 99p which I leave in the boot.  

I was told that the -20*C figures were based on a 1:3 dilution ratio, so a 5L will dilute to make 20L.




Windscreen washers and wipers get heavy use in the summer as they clean away dust, sap and insects. So be sure to include a screenwash check as part of every vehicle service.

Did you know that the Legionnaires’ bug was found in 1 in 5 cars without screenwash? The additives used in our Quantum and Volkswagen Group Genuine Screenwash products can kill the Legionnaires’ bug.

• Efficient all-year cleaning – cuts through bugs, dust and tree sap
• Clear, smear-free screens aid road safety
• Protection down to minus 20°C for peace of mind

Part Number: ZGB 00Q SWC 05L

Legionnaire's Disease from a Screenwash, is nothing safe! 

There's me, driving along, merrily squirting the screenwash, happily inhaling the fresh smell and (by all accounts) contracting Legionnaire's Disease, might as well inject the ebola virus for good measure to make sure I'm fully infected.

From now on (if I live through this) its Quantum all the way!!

+1 for VW's stuff. I tried halfrauds ready mixed once and it was awful - smeared on the windscreen and then dried so you would have to use more of it etc.
