Windshield Washer Fluids Talk

[babynos01]

Also tried tonight the filtered water + joy mix.
Nawala yung gritiness ng wiper kapag nag sweep siya.
Also noticed na mas clear yung glass after, though sa una medyo malabo since nag bubula yung soap.

BTW i noticed na kapag matagal naka on yung washer spray, nag auto off siya?
Same goes for the rear one. Does it heat up that much ba? Pinalitan ko kasi nung umuulan kanina, so I am left to drain the reservoir via washer spray.

Use distilled water to avoid water spots.

Don't use soaps or dishwashing liquid, you will have water spots from the water-soap solution when it evaporates off your windshield, and you risk stripping the wax off your paint.

Sir imho, water spots cannot be caused by filtered/distilled water. If there would be blame it to the elements present in the environment, but at least this soap solution will gently wipe of sticky substance like carbon and oil combined from the air pollutants - just to name a few.

I also disagree of the washer stripping off the wax in the paint as it should be directly aimed at the windshield, unless otherwise you install performance washer that can blast water into your whole car, afaik.

Hth.

Pardible lang katapat nyan sir, itusok mo lang sa butas ng spray then gently adjust to desired position...

[greatauror28]

Kung merong liquid na hindi ko pwedeng gamitin sa windshield washer ko, yan ay TUBIG

Iba nga gamit ko kapag summer (zero degrees) tapos iba din kapag winter (-45deg).
AFAIK, main ingredient ng WW fluid eh Methanol kaya hindi nagfi freeze kapag winter.

Swerte jan saten pwedeng tubig lang gamitin though i'm not sure if safe sya sa windshield mo kasi alam mo magwa waterspots sya.

Just to be safe, buy a dedicated washer fluid para sa peace of mind.

Ako din I use toyota windshield washer, 1:3 ratio, 3 parts yung distilled water (sa shell 20pesos/liter yung distilled water). With this formula, tumagal ng 4years yung wiper blade. Sa joy kasi parang mabilis tumigas yung wiper blade.

Kuha ka sir ng karayon, ipasok mo sa butas ng washer para maayos mo ang aim ng tubig, same procedure pag barado

un na nga iniisip ko sir. and i also use glaz stain out and stain guard for water repellent during heavy rains.

[gearhead000]

You use those rain repellents so that rain water will bead instead of sheet in your windshield. Using liquid detergent, won't that defeat the properties of your rain repellent? Surely it would clean your windshield more efficiently, but then you will end up using your wiper more instead of sparingly if the rain repellent retains its effectiveness.

For a better illustration (not an endorsement of rain-x, marami pang iba na sing-effective din):

Sir how much cost ng wiper blade vs cost ng distilled water and washer fluid for 4years? Tingin ko sa isang seasin ng tagulan sa atin makakabili ka na ng 2-3 wiper blade bosch or denso brand compared sa cost ng fluid at distilled. Imho lang po. No need to argue, peace.

Here's mine:

22 inch wiper blades (pair) = 700php
1 gallon 3 stage filtered water at home (not distilled) = Basically free
1 coat KSG applied to windshield (twice a year) = 20php?

Total: 720php (Still good after 1.5 years)


Let's say I used distilled water.

720php + 90php = 810php

Same as mine except that my wiper is shorter and cheaper around 500petot lang. Normally i change my wiper between 2-3years. Even with joy.

[admiral88]

Washer fluid 100pesos, diluted with 4liters distilled water 80pesos, total is 180pesos good for 1 year na for me, so for 4 years, its 720pesos. NWB Aqua wiper blade costs about 750pesos per pair.

[Retz]
