    Came free with the car. refilled the washer container with plain water only.

    Previously in a company car, 3 to 5 drops of dish washing liquid, add water via water hose to washer container to mix the soap and water. Then it is ready.

    dati mga sir ganyan din gawa namin either shampoo or dishwashing liquid kaya lang minsan lumalagkit ung salamin, kahit when we use ung mga washer solution

    kahit nga if you put rain x on the windshield minsan ganun din malagkit para sa wiper blades at baka mahirapan pa ung motor ng wiper

    base lng po yan sa experinece namin (both for quality wiper blades and lalo na sa low quality sobra lagkit)

    sa ngayon water na lang

    i use wash & wype from Handyman or Ace (the blue colored liquid). no mixtures needed, just pour it in the container. works well.

    I use the "Joy solution", 4 drops of Joy diluted in 1L of water, only during rainy season. During the dry season, plain water will do.

    I use Wurth Rapid Windscreen Cleaner available in concentrate bottle, orange in color. Really helps clear the bugs out in just two passes .

    No streaking or squeaking on the glass too.

    No. I just use plain water.

    But I'd like to try one and find for myself if it is advantageous really to use one. Will monitor this thread to find out which one to try.

    are you sure? baka magbara yan sa nozzle....nangdadamay ka lang yata kasi nabara yun nozzle mo eh...hehehe

    I tried the color blue solution from ace, bought the 2 liters bottle, eh kulang pa pala for CRV, ubos na yun solution di pa napuno....

    I should have bought the bigger bottle..

    i've been using wash & wipe too. But the downside is, it stained the reservoir with its color. Any way i can remove it? help naman mga kapatid.

    continuous use of diluted shampoo as washer also makes your reservoir and lines clean and white.

    Shampoo lang pala ang katapa . Di ba ang shampoo ay detergent? parang dish washing liquid na detergent din?

    Sa pagkakaalam ko, magkaiba ang detergent sa soap.

    Hello Kuya! Effective ba yang solution na yan sa iyo? Tried it kase dati with my car kaya lang naging medyo malagkit ang windshield.

    Shampoos are also ok but I would suggest that you avoid the Anti-Dandruff type because it may have strong chemicals in them that could make your rubber/plastic water hose brittle.

    I used to dilute shampoo (with conditioner) but very minimal lang so that it doesn't lather or bubble up that much when squirted.

    When I was using shampoo before, ang windshield ko ay kering-keri!
