Screen Wash

Post by S_94 »

Hi guys.

Anyone able to recommend some good screen wash? Been using some generic -5 stuff from Halfords but it doesn't seem that good and leaves the car covered in blue spots.

Cheers.

I use this stuff - https://cpc.farnell.com/michelin/swash- ... EML007-005

Works down to low temps, can dilute for the warmer temps. And is meant to be kinder to rubber and plastics, as well as adding protection to the window everytime it's used to help water bead off.

I’ve always used Prestone -10 or Tesco -10. Never had any issues with water spots on any of my cars.

The genuine VW screen wash concentrate. Bought a load a few years ago and I’m still working through it. I find it’s very good and it doesn’t clog up fan washer jets like some screen washes can. From memory, it was quite pricey though.

Yes, that’s the one. I also bought it from VW Motorparts. Bought a few things from them and I’ve found their service to be excellent.
