    in the summer time, i still used washer fluid. i do not try anything other than what is supposed to be used. you never know when the time comes and you need it, it'll either be clogged or iced up, when you need it the most.

    then too, one has to wonder the chemical make up some some things, that may over time, deteriorate the rubber hoses.

    Hmmm.... I use it in my 4-wheel.... I'll have to read the label when I get some more. Pretty sure it can't be sold (used?) in certain states, but I can't attest to which or recall why.

    Invisible Glass works really well at leaving glass streak free and clean.

    Wonder how many times I've cussed about the cascadias washer/mirror problem
    Should I?
    Shouldn't I?
    My nose pressed against the windshield to see through the crud.
    Finally I do, and glance at the mirrors.
    Ugh!
