What ratio do you use with screenwash/water/fairy?
Also does it leave a film on the windows?
-
dont think anyone has a particular ratio,but you need quite at lot in these temps,no good with just a few cap fulls
-
at the moment im using it neat but its still freezing in the shade! it normaly says in the tub e.g normal temp 50/50
freezing temp 25 sw to 75 water & detergent then extreme low temps use neat this is asda screenwash by the way. £150 for about 1.5 ltrs i think
-
a couple of big glugs of concentrated screenwash with a bit of warm water/squeegee off.keep your mop a lot wetter than normal and soap one window at a time and blade off very fast(esp in the shade!!) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

even neat screenwash is freezing in the shade on contact with glass at minus 7, i even tried the "turbi" two handed method with slightly better results but water freezing on sillsa and frames still having the scrap then with a car ice scaper!

I managed to do about 70 quid yesterday and it never got above freezing but it is colder today so want to be on the save side when I venture out at about 10.30.

Went to get my screenwash from the back of the van today and the bottle was frozen solid, thats concebtrate not diluted! -9 here this morning,cant remember it ever being this low round here.

I put a glass of vodka to 25L of Hot water and was fine all day spilt some on the floor and didn't freeze.Siberian winter needs Russian solution.customer ask me what i do to stop the water freezing and when I told her she thought I was winding her up,But still handed over the notes
