    Most discount supermarkets sell blue pre-mixed screen wash for around £2-£3 a gallon, Home Bargains had lots last week.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    If you mean the winter -60 deg, they have not stocked it for several years now disappointingly. I'm down to two bottles as it has not been required for the last two - three years temperature wise. And I travel all over the UK for work so not just my home area.

    That's not the good stuff.

    We like the Prestone Extreme Screenwash and it works well no matter how cold it gets.

    Recently I have used:

    Halfords (have used green, purple and the hardcore red one - all good if very smelly
    Prestone yellow - good
    Rainx "Ready to Use -20" - downright dangerous!!!!!! wouldn't flow properly and left huge smears all over the screen which got worse the more I wiped or sprayed - had to drain the tank and flush out before replacing with one of the above.

    I get the stuff from Poundland. It's a £1. It's screenwash and it seems to wash the screen. It's never frozen. I don't know what I would get extra for paying more.

    A man walked into a car showroom.
    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".

    Agreed, I've not seen it for a few years now. Mind you I've still got two 5 litre bottles left as I tend to buy the BMW or VW stuff whenever it comes up cheap on ebay.
