Cleaning fluid is not the same as windshield washer fluid. Cleaning fluid is a solution added during fractional distillation and extraction to remove impurities or fragmented elements, with various formulations available depending on specific requirements. Windshield washer fluid is the common term for automobile windshield cleaning solution. Different purposes: Cleaning fluid is primarily used for washing car bodies, while windshield washer fluid is added to the engine compartment's washer fluid reservoir specifically for cleaning the front windshield. Different compositions: Cleaning fluid typically consists of surfactants, polishing agents, phosphates, solvents, alkaline substances, etc. Windshield washer fluid mainly contains water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. Different cleaning scopes: Cleaning fluid is widely used in industries such as construction, decoration, automotive, electronic instruments, and optical instruments for cleaning various items. Windshield washer fluid: Primarily used for cleaning automobile windshields. When the transparency of the front windshield decreases, spraying windshield washer fluid can create a clear and bright view. Especially during nighttime driving, dust on the glass scatters light, making it necessary to spray windshield washer fluid to maintain the front windshield in optimal transparent condition.
