Best Screenwash?

[CaptainRAVE]

I doubt many people drink their screen wash.

Given the water post, I feel anything is possible at this point

Fair point!

You dont catch legionnaires disease from drinking it, you catch it from inhaling it.

Halfords,Tesco, doesn't seem to make much difference really. It's screenwash.

while on the screenwash subject, which brands contain upto 50% methanol?

Sometimes see that blue £1.99 concentrate with a ton of alcohol in it, I get that. If I can't find it I go "ugh" and just get the cheapest pre-mix from whatever place I am in. Last time was Sainsburys.

You get it from inhaling vaporised water particles. Non treated screen wash water harbors the bacteria.

Thanks for that info.
I had Legionaires a couple or three years ago after taking a shower at a relative's house that had been built for some time but not yet lived in.
I just turned it on, waited for the hot water to come through, jumped in and a week later was lying in hospital with hardly any lung capacity and a heart racing away consuming what little oxygen could get in the blood - like some kind of cardiovascular runaway.

Stay safe folks.

If the water smells faintly of rotten eggs/sulphur then that is a characteristic.

Water and a dash of fairy (runs for cover).

If the washer tank runs dry then I buy a bottle of whatever and whack it in neat, then top it up with water once home.

I tend to only give the windscreen a squirt when quite dirty, if there is a stubborn bit of dirt I'm not one of those people who go mad with the squirters until it's gone. It stays there until the car gets washed or it rains

For the past 2 winters I can probably count the times it has actually gone below freezing on my fingers, this year I've not even seen a frost yet and it's mid December!

It's just a water pump, some tubes and a nozzle, not the ISS.
