Rep Power: 419 The lower the temperature rating and the cheaper the better IMO. I just get the cheapest stuff possible. I don't mess around with crap like that. Maybe if I was going for show, then I would fill up with premium and then I could tell everybody, "Hey, my windshield washer fluid is rated to below 30!".

Rep Power: 0 it's just that i find my wipers streeking a wk after i got new ones... and when i wipe them with a cloth they're good again for another week.... i use the fluid a lot so my blades won't get dirty and streek up.... i think our wipers on SUCK. plus, the fastest setting is NOT fast enough for northwest rain [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

Well, depending on how fast you were going. I'd say you're pretty lucky not to have a skateboard sticking out of your window!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] If I had an opportunity like that and someone had done that to me, you bet my skateboard would be hanging out of their back window!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 419 I needed them once. The weather was so bad that the rain just froze when it hit the windshield. I ran out of windshield washer fluid, so I had to get out of the car and clean the windshield off myself before I started back on the road. It was stop and go stop and go. Then I hit a Napa Auto Parts and I bought some winshield washer fluid. Trust me, that and windshield washer sprayers are a good thing.

Rep Power: 0 I don't use mine much either. Makes the windshield all nasty around the perimeter and gets all over the car. They're good on the interstate when the trucks spray sheite all over your windshield. Also, they work great to unfreeze the windshield in the morning.

Rep Power: 0 Down here in TX where it doesn't get cold enough to need a de-ice type, I chose the bug-remover flavor... it works pretty good i guess... nothing spectacular... i wonder if it's clearcoat safe???
