I searched the forums and didn't find a good answer so thus this post.



Can anyone in the snowbelt recommend a good windshield washer fluid? My winshield washer sensor malfunction just popped up so I'm just about out of the original fluid that came with the car (which by the way I didn't particularly care for b/c it seems to freeze everytime I use it during these winter days (even with the windshield defog on it takes a bit of time to get it off).


Thanks.

Most windshield washer fluid is designed not to freeze, so it's interesting that you have a problem with it freezing. What it's not designed to do though is melt ice that is already on the windshield. However, you can buy a de-icing type of windshield washer fluid that works well on iced up windows. However, if the ice is thick at all, you'll still have to get out and scrape.

Cool! I think I may have tried that before. How much does that cost per gallon? I know the regular blue stuff is about a $1.00, and the de-ice stuff I used to use (don't really need it now) costs about $2.00.

If I remember right it was $5-$6. It is pricey, but works really well.
