Question Windscreen washer 'soap'

I still got some cleaner left over from my old car. The ones you mix into the windscreen wiper water reserve, a cleaning agent.

Is it ok to put any sorts into my car or do I need to buy a certain type?

Anything designed to the job that does not promote rust is fine.

I use Bars. It has a strong smell of ammonia & I always do worry whether it has a detrimental effect re rust.The instructions state that is safe on paintwork.Made in NZ.

I did not have to add any treatment for nearly 3 years as the suds just kept coming from the original MB fill.

I do think that it is best not to use anything ( if you can get away with it) as any cleaner will remove the wax from your paintwork therefore exposing it to oxidisation.

How is the new car going ?

They're all good, just get the ones that says windshield wiper soap/shampoo. Just don't use those laundry detergents or dishwashing liquid hehe..

thanks, just wanted to confirm it all. I got 1 and a half bottles left so I didnt want to waist it or give it away. I know Merc has their own products at the parts section but its probably the same stuff with a larger price tag.
