    I put lysol or pinesol in with my summer washer fluid. Isopropyl alcohol in with the winter stuff. Never had problems.

    There was some clear stuff that stunk like urine. It was supposedly summer wash. If your reservoir was in cab or bunk it would take some time to get that stench out. Forget the brand now

    If you mix the red and blue, will that make purple?

    If you mixed red and green to get a yellow, what would that do.

    You need lime pepino.

    I like the Rainex washer fluid.
    If I run out and need some fast I fill my own jugs with natural biodegradable recycled water.

    The purpose is it does not have a purpose! You could always drive for Prime when you stop the bugs fly off no need for washer fluid!

    Possibly determine which are best. None IMO clean bug crap off windshield very well
    I carry Oxoclean and give windshield a squirt when I stop then the bugs wash off with wipers

    Well if you are worried about bugs and crap, then there isn't anything that really cleans it while driving, the best that can happen is the washer fluid keeping the dead bugs moist until you can stop. this is where your OIxyclean idea does work.
