i have used screenwash in mine last year.in fact ive still got 4 big tubs of it in my storage space!!but you only need to use it if its -2 or 3 in the day.it smells awful!and leaves blue sludge on window sills!!i really dont like using it.its a last resort during spells of really cold weather and when im miles behind with work.in fact i used it with a trad pole and left wfp gear at home when it was below -2! ;D ;D

I worked in - 13 last year doing shopfronts using 100% Isoproponyl, no water. Screen wash would never have looked at it. Where there is a will.
