The local Vauxhall dealer doesn't stock GM screen wash (he get's it for you you if you order it) but stocks Car Plan's ....... which incidently is made up the road from here by Tetrosyl

My local factor does me 25lt of the Carplan stuff for around fifteen quid with the vat

I have bought the cheap diluted stuff before and a lot of the times it has frozen either in the wash bottle or in the pipes to the jets  So ill be looking at the concentrated stuff , although a bit dearer its worth the extra 

[TheBoy]

Never buy pre mixed, always concentrate, and use the correct concentration.

I tend to use GM (bit foamy on PFL headlights) or the cheap Holts stuff when Costco have it on offer. Neither seem to cause problems (beyond the GM 5l bottle spout design).

[omega3000]

Ill only need a litre of it 

This will do then http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/car-maintenance/wilko-all-seasons-screen-wash-concentrated-1ltr/invt/0075858/?VBMST=screen%20wash

Better than £5.40 wishy washy 1 ltr stuff from bp .

I buy the vx stuff on trade club, its very good and cheap plus it works to silly low temps even at 25% concentration plus unlike much of the cheap stuff, it doesn't grow in the summer

That's interesting Mark

Thanks Andy!!

That will do nicely

[Lazydocker]

Tend to buy mine in Makro too... It's often on BOGOF at various prices (cheapest was £1.99 for 5L) and normally stock up. Mind you, I'm almost out

Trip to Makro tomorrow then

[omega3000]

Got a litre of it and topped it up , thats that job done for 12 months now

I find the vx stuff leaves chalky marks when it dries out.

Carplan (and another make, Holts? ) at macro under bogof. I came away with about 8 5litre bottles of concentrate for about £15 last time. Can't remember exactly. I'm only now on my last bottle, must have been two years ago, and it goes in both our cars obviously.

No freezing issues, no goop in the bottle as the top hat filter is perfectly clear. And no residue on the screen.

  I,ve used the Asda branded stuff for years. Never had any problems with it.

Used Lidl's own stuff for a couple of years now.
Never had any fungus in the jets.
Cleans the glass ok
Doesn't freeze if you mix it right and basicly does what it says on the tin 

[Auto Addict]

I tend to use a bit of wet and dry wrapped around my windscreen wipers, doesn't improve vision, but gets rid of flies and muck.
