Automotive glass cleaner cannot be replaced with tap water. The functions of automotive glass cleaner include the following 4 points: 1. Cleaning performance: Windshield washer fluid is formulated with multiple surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, thereby achieving cleaning and stain removal effects. 2. Antifreeze performance: It can significantly lower the freezing point of the liquid, thus providing antifreeze protection and quickly dissolving frost. 3. Anti-fog performance: A single-molecule protective layer forms on the glass surface, preventing the formation of fog droplets and ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent with unobstructed visibility. 4. Anti-static performance: After cleaning with windshield washer fluid, substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate static charges on the glass, providing anti-static properties.
