There was a thread about putting cheap air into tyres , " Does this also apply to screen wash when mixing for freezing conditions "

 

Dunno, put some screenwash in your tyres and let us know Mr G.

I reckon the antifreeze properties would stop the rubber hardening & make a viable alternative to winter tyres

I know someone who insists on using evian  bottled water to dilute screen wash

I wonder how many kettles he gets through per year.

I'm sure I read that distilled water or water from a dehumidifier is reconmended. However this could be for coolant top-ups.

 

However as we have soft water in our area I just use plain tap water.

Yep, I found a thread that mentions it.

I use evian® Natural Mineral Water. Protected under a fortress of geological layers built up by glaciers 30,000 years ago, it slowly travels through a natural purifying filter. Untouched by man and free from pollution, its microbiological composition is perfectly sound, mixed with a dash of Tesco screen wash !

I use Asda non concentrated which I get in 5l bottles . in summer mix 50/50 with water and add a dollop of CHEAP washing up liquid to get rid of road oil splash. ( Cheap stuff don't foam as much as the dearer stuff). In winter it's screen wash neat with a dollop of washing up liquid. I never use neat wateras this can force Skoda pipes off joints. Every so often and after a carwash I clean the blades and screen with neat washing up liquid followed by a good soak with the hose.
