How to Choose Windshield Washer Fluid for Cars

Here is an introduction to choosing windshield washer fluid: 1. High-quality automotive windshield washer fluid is made of deionized water mixed with various environmentally friendly additives. It has functions such as cleaning, water repellency, antifreeze, anti-static, and anti-corrosion. It can effectively remove dust, lubricating oil, gasoline and diesel residues, polishing wax residue, tree sap, bird droppings, and insect residue on highways. 2. High-quality automotive windshield washer fluid can quickly disperse rainwater on the windshield, preventing the windshield from becoming blurred during heavy rainfall and ensuring clear visibility for the driver. 3. High-quality automotive windshield washer fluid can neutralize the electric charge generated by friction between the windshield, wipers, and substances in the air. It enhances the conductivity of the glass surface, resists static electricity, and prevents the adsorption of dirt by electric charges, which could otherwise affect visibility. 4. High-quality automotive windshield washer fluid maintains a neutral pH value and does not contain various metal ions, ensuring no corrosive effects on the car's paint, rubber, or any metal parts.

I remember driving for over twenty years, and the key to choosing windshield washer fluid lies in the season and weather. In winter, you must opt for the antifreeze type, with the freezing point clearly labeled on the bottle—something that can handle minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius is reliable. Otherwise, it won’t clean properly and may freeze into ice, which is quite dangerous. In summer, regular cleaning fluid is sufficient—it’s affordable and eco-friendly. Personally, I recommend buying from reputable brands like Turtle Wax or Blue Star. Don’t skimp and end up with low-quality products that could corrode your wipers or dirty your windshield. I once tried a DIY mix of alcohol and water, but getting the ratio right was tricky, and it ended up streaking, requiring a redo. Always check the label to ensure there are no harmful chemicals, and replace it regularly to keep the nozzles clear. This way, you’ll maintain a clear view while driving, ensuring safety and peace of mind.
