How to choose a windshield washer fluid

The washer tank is not a container where you can pour everything that flows. Low-quality liquid can freeze at the wrong time, contaminate the windshield or even damage its coating. How to choose the right washer fluid? In this article we will try to answer this question. You can also make your car more presentable and elegant if you use tuning accessories, a huge assortment of which is available in our product catalog.

Climatic conditions are the main criterion

• Summer liquid. Designed for removing traces of insects, dust and road dirt. Usually contains detergent components and fragrances. Importantly! Do not use summer liquid in winter - it will freeze in the washer tank.

• Winter liquid. Contains antifreeze (alcohol), thanks to which it does not freeze at low temperatures. Choose a liquid with a temperature threshold that corresponds to your region.

• All-season liquid. An option for those who do not like to change the fluid twice a year. Usually effective down to -20°C. However, at lower temperatures it can still freeze.

What else to pay attention to

• Liquid composition. Choose a liquid based on isopropyl alcohol - it is less aggressive towards the paintwork and rubber elements of the car than methanol.

• Scent. The smell should not be sharp and intrusive.

• The presence of lubricating additives. Lubricating additives improve the sliding of the wiper blades on the glass, which increases the cleaning efficiency.

• Certification. Pay attention to the presence of a quality certificate. A high-quality washing liquid will not leave streaks on the glass and will effectively clean it of dirt.

Remember! Don't skimp on washing up liquid. A high-quality liquid will provide you with an excellent view at any time of the year and protect the washer system from damage. And timely fluid replacement is the key to safety on the road.
