If Opti clean is the gm stuff, I don't like the chalky residue it leaves.

While the car plan types may be inferior in other areas, I don't know, it leaves no residue at all afaict.

Yeah, not having a black car, that's less important to me. Besides, gives the Kosos a task...

Colour irrelevant to the windscreen and from the driver seat.

Conclusion was drawn from the previous car, if you notice the dates in the link. 2010

Assumed you meant the mess it made of bodywork. Not found any issues with cleaning/visibility when I've used it. Just too expensive

Chalky marks in the screen. Ooh no. Unacceptable.

That would peeve me off, and I'm sure I would have noticed

I certainly did. Happy with the Macro stuff though. ESP given cost

Apple flavour concentrate from The Range 

[Miggylover]

use the prestone stuff myself.  good stuff

[vauxlooney]

Cheapo poundshop stuff for me.diluted down too as I have aquapel rain repellent on my windscreen so doesn't need to be that concentrated to do the job.

[cd 2.2]

none at all 

You need to. Fortunately your CD doesn't have headlight washers, so you can't knacker that pump of nozzles. You'll find the guaze under the screen pump clogs soon with a whitem stringy slime.

Screenwash has additives to prevent this growth, as well as provide a better clean and antifreeze properties.

Now I know this I will be sure to use something (most likely autoglym) as I don't need that headache in my life

Lidl home brew screen wash.

About a fiver a gallon and does what it says on the label 

[Marks DTM Calib]

GM stuff because its the cheapest I find, mainly becuase it give brilliant freeze protection at high dilution rates.

I think I use about 5 litres a year over the two cars and 30K miles

Sadly, Mrs TB has headlight washers, drives in at stupid o'clock in the morning, and uses washers at the first hint of a bit of dirt hitting the screen. 6.3l (diluted, obviously) a week isn't unusual if she drives every day 

Tradeclub website is broken again, mainly because its looked after by mongrels, but seem to recall its well over £7 for 5l now...
