Washer Fluid / Safety

plumcrazy8 · Dec 26, 2004

Just a quick note for a safe winter ride: For those of you who have not tried the Rain-X De-Icer windshield washer fluid, Try it out! This stuff will not freeze, will actually de-ice those nasty FL-70 windshields (those of you with an FL-70 feel free to smile now) and leave you with some Rain-X treatment as a bonus. It's expensive at $2.50 to $3.00 per gallon but is a necessity this winter.

This is the best product I've used yet. Yesterday, at 7 deg F upon startup, This washer fluid flowed freely. No glaze on a cold windshield either. All other USA fluids I've used couldn't meet their temp claims. Mainly because my fluid hoses are exposed to the elements and even the -25 blue stuff would slush-up in the hoses. My kudos to Rain-X

I've found that a 50/50 cut with better 'blue' juice will still bring the benefits of the Rainx.

Another good winter product is Prestone's yellow washer fluid, similar product without the sheeting agent.
