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.

My lad takes his truck to Norway so he bought some super dooper, neat, undiluted, guaranteed not to freeze screen wash and............................it froze in the container.  ;D ;D

I use VW's posh stuff, only because I like how it smells. I'm such a pansy sometimes.

Its good stuff, but I found on the MFL headlight washers, used to leave streams of foam down the side of the car, esp in winter (presumably due to stronger mix). Doesn't seem to do it on FL headligght washers, no idea why  :-\
