Do you use Glass cleaner like Windex in your windshield washer tank?

Apparently when you Google "Orange windshield washer fluid illegal"

The stupid just crawls from every corner of the web.

Also be careful with your concoctions, don't forget that stuff also gets on the paint. Some of you company drivers may not care what happens to the paint. But vinegar, dawn dish soap left on the paint will leave streaks in the paint

 

hmmmm never heard of fhat

 

Company buys a pallet of -32 rated washer fluid every year, I keep my washer bottle full, from time to time I'll also buy the Rain-X Bug Off and add it in there as well, some are rated to -20 some to -32, it seems to help with some of the grime.

 

Just remember, that plain water will start to freeze at 35 deg., and your washer lines and spray nozzles will start to freeze at 40 deg. if there's ice in the air.

 

But, but Chinatown, you really mean it that those blue breath mints really do work? lol

 

I use the rain-x additive year round
I have a SMALL bottle of dawn I keep in the side box.... when I stop at the truckstop to fuel I just run a line of dawn across the sponge

 

Yes, but they taste like ####. At least that's what I've heard.

 

Washer fluid or Windex, it's all the same ingredient that makes it "work". Ammonia.

The problem I find with bugs isn't the fluid, it's the wipers. Unless they are brand new, they don't "scrub" the bugs off like a squeegee brush does. When I was out on the road, my only real solution was just stopping every little bit, when the bugs were bad, at gas stations or truck stops and using the squeegee to clean the windows.

 

I've used Windex in a pinch. It will stay liquid to probably about 15-20 degrees. Doesn't work as good as washer fluid though IMO.
