What is the Best Windscreen Fluid washer?

[glaswegian]

I have bought different types that leave streaks and blotches, and am not quite happy with them. What are the best ones out there from wal-mart or crappy tire that are really good, and not too expensive?

I know.....cheap and good in the same context

rain x for 4 years and just converted the girlfriend and major difference.
More clearer windshield, less cleaning needed.

+1, I've used cheap no-names in the past and switched to Rain-X. Visible difference!

Where can I get this, does wal-mart carry it?

Bought my RainX fluid at Canadian Tire. I'm not sure if Wal Mart carries it. Definitely the best washer fluid I've used.

I buy the Rain-X windshield washer (yellow liquid, 4L) from Canadian Tire.

It is not cheap, but like others I have used it for years. It causes any water to bead and run off the windshield. At highway speeds any falling rain runs off the windshield without wipers.

(Prior to the windshield washer product I had applied Rain-X from the little bottle, but each application would only last a few months.)

Interesting, I may have to try the RainX...I've been pretty happy with the applied product, but if you get the same effect from the fluid without having to clean and reapply, that sounds like a win.

I find any cheap fluid works fine with the RainX treatment applied, though.

Wicked....I knew I could count on you lot to deliver Buyakasha

i've been using the rain-x winter and summer fluids for 2 years... great stuff... i won't go back to the cheap stuff...

it was on sale at crappy tire for 2.99/jug a few weeks ago.

+1 for RAINX!!!

I apply RainX on during all months except winter, and use RainX washer fluid, and use RainX wipers

[glaswegian]

Hmmmm....I hope you lot don't all work for crappytire or RainX

+Billion for RainX Windshield Washer Fluid.

Though the stuff rarely goes on sale, stock up on the cases if it does, I always do!

Spraying this stuff makes the snow around your windshield yellow, like someone peed on it

Rain-X is great stuff, I used to use it since before it even came combined with washer fluid...

However these days I use VisionBlade glass treatment and then use any el-cheapo washer fluid I can find and it's just fine. I'd rather pay $4 for four 4L bottles of winshield antifreeze than $4 for one bottle Plus VisionBlade is better overall, it just takes time to apply it of course...

Anyway if the OP has tried various brands and types and they are still getting streaking and poor performance it's likely there is something to do with their wiper system and not the fluid. Either the wiper blades are worn/old or the arms/springs are worn.

Winter washer fluid is mainly just alcohol regardless of what type you buy. Yes there are some with Rain-X or Teflon additives but mainly they are just alcohol. If you're getting streaking with several types (of essentially the same thing) then there's probably a problem that's not related to the fluid

it just takes time to apply it of course...

Won't buy Vision Blade for that reason.
But will try Rain-X. Thanks for the info.

Could it be that your windshield wipers need changing and not your windshield washer fluid brand?

Always a good idea to change your wipers on a regular basis too!
