ninja_geezer Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 what is the best screen wash ? tried a few and they all leave my spirit blue paintwork and the side windows looking like milk has been chucked on the car. they dry horrible,thinking of trying filtered water and a tiny splash of fairy . ice is not really an issue at the moment so don't need major - degrees protection.

The Dark Knight Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Good question. I've been using cheapo stuff from Wilko's but might give this a go as it gets good reviews: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Autoglym-Ultimate-Screenwash-500-CC/dp/B0011DY91G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just ordered a bottle for £7.27. The price in the link is an add-on item so you need to spend over £10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 You could have bought 4 bottles for 11.28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Don't buy the pink stuff from Halfords - its diabolical! Other than that I use asdas or Tescos 'finest' lol Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It's ok. I'll see if it's as good as they claim first. I can always try another brand if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyallan Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Heh. My wife likes the smell of the Halfords pink stuff. However I'm currently using asda blue stuff. It was cheap for 2 containers of it. Not using as much now so might take a while to use this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potter18 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Dont use washing up liquid it can remove any wax protection, try comma xtreme , autoglym or prestone , I use Shell screenwash (oonly cos I got it free with my vouchers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff4155 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I use Clean Green from Wynn's http://www.wynns.co.za/clean%20green.htm leaves a nice smell as well, does streak a bit on side windows, but its better than having dirty front window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 or Tescos 'finest' lol Haha. No way do they have a Finest windscreen wash? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Haha. No way do they have a Finest windscreen wash? :D Not as far as I'm aware hence inverted commas, but tbh it wouldn't surprise me if they did Delving through my bag of diamondbrite goodies I've noticed I've got some in there, and some autoglym stuff I didn't know I had lurking in the garage Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I use autoglym screenwash along side autoglym glass polish and carbon collective glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukcal Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm using Halfords + Tesco stuff. I say + as I have topped up one with another. I go through the stuff quite quickly as I dislike having any dirt on my windscreen when I drive! So quantity is probably over quality for me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I like the Lidl stuff...when you can get it lol Protects down to -60C when used neat lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L22EEW Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I like the Lidl stuff...when you can get it lol Protects down to -60C when used neat lol I used to work at Lidl, and have to agree with you there. Some of the car cleaning stuff they sometimes sell, isn't that bad either. Like the engine cleaner spray, and the chain cleaner spray - both very good products! I still have some alloy wheel cleaning wet mitts, where you just use it a wet mitt to wipe over the wheels to clean. I have never seen these or anything similar being sold anywhere else.

Stoney871 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I use Bluecol 3 in 1 winter Screenwash, smells of alcohol but cuts through road grime well. Do not use Tesco Eco Screenwash, it leaves terrible residue on paintwork. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I also use Simoniz foaming screen cleaner which I spray onto bird !Removed! and it lifts the stuff nicely, even off paintwork. It's good for removing greasy residue and car wax off glass too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
