Halfords 5 litre concentrate down to minus 10c. £ 2.50 today dont know how long it will be on for. :y
-
I use Vx Tradeclub Opticlean, not sure what it costs. Minus 10C may not be low enough on a very cold night. One Friday night coming home from Oxfordshire temperature fell to -16C and the screenwash froze, making driving tricky.
I now use neat Opticlean in the middle of winter. The label says 'ethanol solution' and 'flammable liqid'. If neat ethanol it would freeze at -78C, if a dilute solution it would not be flammable. Hmmm.

Bought 20L last year for £8.50, be going to get some more then :y
-
2.5 for 5 litres, bonus, I was getting a bit bored drinking that cheap Vodka anyway. ;)

The green stuff (-20c) is about £2.50 on trade. Stinks though, but the rate Mrs TB gets through it, that's what the cars get ;D

I think the GM stuff does a better job, but with her driving in the dark, and the fact she washes the screen every 2 seconds, those headlights drink the stuff, so not worth the extra this time of year. IMHO.

Concentrate? Or did you cock up and pick up the diluted?

That's the stuff, wifey says "it's a horrible snot colour"

I use Asda concentrated, £3 for five litres or, sometimes, two for £4. It's never frozen and it cleans my windscreen. ;D

Opticlean concentrate from VX is blue. much better than anything else I've used, never buy premixed stuff as I seem to have a tap that dispenses water in the kitchen! ;D

They do both... Understandably the ready to use is much cheaper, as it's mainly water :-X ::)

I realise this is about to get me flamed, but hey ho.
I use Waitrose Essential floor cleaner (its the supermarket next to my work, so I buy lunch there), diluted about 10-1, cost me £1.05p/l. Has been fine so far this winter and the coldest I've seen so far is -4 in the morning when I've been going to work (6am ish).
It doesnt foam, cleans as well as any screenwash I've ever bought and was the first thing thats shifted the oppsing awful smell of Halfords Green Apple screenwash from my car - that stuff smells like gon off cider :(
-
My Vauxhall dealer recommend Autogem, its what they use in their fleet now rather than opticlean.
Tend to ring me when its on offer, at £10 for 4 x 5 litres. works well and never had a freezing issue
-
Prestone ? Screen wash from Costco for me if I remember it is about £5 for five litres
-
I like the purple berry screen wash from Halfords, works well and smells nice and stock up when it`s on offer :y

Concentrate, hence good for -20C

I used to use that, and its fine :y, just too expensive. Mrs TB can empty the 6.3l bottle in a day or 2 :o

I use screen wash from Lidl when I can get it. But make sure its the one with a double spout. :y :y :y
