If you want to stay OEM you can get the Summer Fit on EBay for less than the dealerships usually.

Some time ago in conversation with the dealer service manager concerning windscreen washer fluid he stated M-B issued a bulletin stating, not to use RainX as it fouled the reservoir fluid level sensor.

I have used the Rain X treatment that you rub on the windshield. But I was mainly concerned with any solution that was running thru the windshield washer assembly.
