Does it matter if a little windshield washer fluid spills when adding it?
1 Answers
Spilling a little windshield washer fluid when adding it does not matter because the fluid is non-corrosive. Windshield washer fluid is the common name for automotive windshield cleaning fluid. It is a consumable item in vehicle use. Automotive windshield washer fluid, commonly known as glass water, is mainly composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. Windshield washer fluid is formulated with multiple surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, which help in cleaning and removing dirt. After cleaning with windshield washer fluid, substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate the charge on the glass surface, providing anti-static properties.
