Re: Which screen wash do you use
I only use supermarket stuff, but it stopped freezing since I made it up more concentrated (in answer to my own question).

Re: Which screen wash do you use
Vodka sounds like a plan to me (I haven't got any other use for it...). And this week I am mostly using: the more expensive stuff my mate sells, it's twice the price of supermarket stuff but that only goes down to -20.

Nah, the winos make their own wine and brandy here so the screenwash is safe.

Re: Which screen wash do you use
I was thinking of the vodka idea but i dont have any access to it, ive never purchased an alcoholic beverage before, would brandy do, i see some of that in the house which i believe was used on the christmas pudding.
Re: Which screen wash do you use
idont think brandy wouid be a good idea it might make a mess of the paint-work if it lands on it,
iknow vodka works,
iuse Meth- spirits find a B&q or similar diy store its cheap as chips,

Re: Which screen wash do you use
The Meths sounds like a plan because thats the smell I get when my washers are working but the tight buggers must,nt put a lot in .Believe it or not my bro in law is a manager where they make screenwash but he is miles from me ![Frowning :frown:](./images/smilies/icon_frown.gif)

Re: Which screen wash do you use
I've been using the Halfrauds concentrated screenwash; it was 50:50 mix but I've been feeding it with neat stuff.

Re: Which screen wash do you use
Screenwash is good stuff for normal days, because i recall with the big wash tank in the 406 the water goes stagnant quite quickly, and it doesnt smell nice, so now with the screenwash it smells quite nice.

Re: Which screen wash do you use
I just use which ever concentrate, not diluted, stuff is on special at my local motor factors. If you read the instructions it will tell you how much to dilute it by if at all. Using this method mine haven't frozen at -11 which is the coldest we've had in the West Country. I figure this is also cheaper than letting it freeze and chancing some expensive part to break.

Re: Which screen wash do you use
I got some from my local motor spares, cant remember the name but it said it was for arctic conditions! It was too, used a 50:50 mix and it hasnt frozen up once, it actually works for de-icing the screen too. It was £6.99 for a 5ltr bottle. I'll try to find it out and post the name of it.
