My Leon needs some screenwash, which do you use?

[nog]

Having read on here and other VAG forums about which screenwash to use with the fan type washer jets I'm still undecided.

Views seem to be pretty well spread across the whole spectrum ranging from "VAG specific only for me" all the way to "it's only screenwash for gods sake - put some fairy liquid in it"

What do you do?

Halfraud Concentrate Stuff-Smells like lemons
Has water softeners in it and apparently lubricates the wipers.
I also use (at the same time) Rain-X washer fluid (With Rain-X on all windows too) and 303 wiper treatment to keep everything in top shape- I dont like not being able to see!

Dont think Id ever bother to pay a premium for brand specific stuff cus you just pay for the VAG label, and theres most prob better stuff out there.

John ach, do you use the Halfrauds blue stuff or pink stuff?

DPJ, muwhahaha sounds like good stuff, where do you get it from?

Anybody know how much the Seat stuff is?

It's just one side effect of breathing methanol fumes.

Cheers Junior but why VAG stuff? And how much is it?

50% methanol based screen wash + 50% water = Cheap & works

Which methanol based screenwash do you use? They're virtually all ethanol based these days....

Formalin Free would hint at in being methanol free.

Cheers for that link. Been meaning to order some for ages. I heard the fumes from std screenwash are supposed to be pretty bad for you if you breathe them in. Get loads of fumes in the car with the xenon washers, it all gets sucked in via the vents even when I set the air to recycle. Won't have to worry with this stuff. (found it via a seller on ebay a bit cheaper)
