    guys, what do you use as your windshield wiper fluid? plain water, liquid soap solution, commercially available windshield wiper formula or something else?

    and where to buy it too...thanks!

    add alcohol too (isopropyl) to make the fluid evaporate faster after you spray it on the glass.

    It may clog the nozzles, mine was. Just use a needle to clean it.

    I use filtered water from our own faucets, to avoid clogging and I mix it with windshield wiper fluid.

    ako kasi i use ordinary water lang. at first ok naman, pero the longer you drive, yung mga tumatalsik sa windshield mo (like road oils, grime and stuff) di na kaya tanggalin ng tubig..so papangit na yung visibility mo.

    any brands of windshield wiper formula recommended?

    Plain distilled water na lang. Problem with windshield solutions may mga drops naiiwan sa hood near the squirters tapos pag natuyo matinding water spot aabutin.

    Tap water ganun din pag natuyo sa hood =water spots.
