Best winter washer fluid for canadian?

Now is in winter season.

temperature will be down under -25~-35C (windchilled under -40C sometimes) here in Ottawa.
(Of course, most central and east CANADA will be under -15~-35C)

My car has headlight washing option.

What is the best winter washer fluid for GLK350?

Do I just go to Canadian tire and buy branded -40~-45C ones?

I am thinking to buy one of below ones.
1. Rain-X (yellow color for -45C)
2.NASCAR 2pks ($8.99 with -49C pink color)
3. Motorcraft branded -49C pink color one
4. Armor branded -40C Orrange color

Kindly give me any tips/experiences for GLK or MB other cars.

Thank you, guys.

** Actually, I wanted to buy least methanol (or free) but it was impossible to find it for ottawa winter

Thank you, mr.mbenz

I have already read the article and it is just for regular winter area/region.
It is not the answer I am looking for.

My question point is what the best one in the place of extreemly cold/snow place is.

Stay away fro m Rain-X products.. you will be sorry. Stick with factory washer fluids from your dealer... there are no cheap alternatives... certain dyes in aftermarket fluids will eventually clog your headlight spray-heads.... good luck

It's washer fluid mixed with rain-x which is just fancy marketing to get you to buy their product. I found it left a film on the windshield because it's like applying rain-x to clean your windows.
