    Hi guys

    Should I opt to DIY my wiper fluid? Or should I buy it from an autosupply store?

    Thanks!

    Iv been buying bug washer fluid from Peak. 3 big containers already cost me 750pesos. Im a heavy user. I use the washer fluid daily because I need maximum visibility (nighttime)driving at the limit of 120kph

    since summer na the bugs are a nuisance. hence going for this product. it really does remove them. kainis lng i have to clean the headlights in the mornings..

    Same thing here, I'm using distilled water. I plan to use this small bottle from Microtex (I forgot the name) which helps against bugs.

    i'm a skinflint.
    i have been using nawasa for decades.
    put in several drops of liquid soap or baby shampoo, for increased cleaning ability.

    Tap water will do for most bugs and dirt.

    If you are lucky tailgated a Japayuki bus spewing oil from behind then your windshield is drenched with oil and its raining hard at pit dark evening on a 2-way national hiway, brake and parts cleaner and plenty of tissue/ newspaper will be very helpful.
    This happened to me resulting to zero visibility and glare from the oil, good thing i always bring brake cleaner and tissue/newspaper, and luckily a spare wiper blade re-fill since it is due for replacement also.

    Di pwede sa everest ang nawasa juice nagi-skip ang wiper. I use the blue concentrate from handyman, forgot the brand. But since i started using it wala na yung judder ng wiper. 1 liter bottle makes 10 liters of mixed fluid.

    Is it Waxco? Yung nabibili ko is hindi 1 liter though. Just a small bottle for 75 pesos. Blue conentrate din sya.
