Water should be added when filling the car with windshield washer fluid. After dilution, the windshield washer fluid can be directly poured into the vehicle's windshield washer reservoir for immediate use. Automotive windshield washer fluid is widely used for quick cleaning and brightening of various glass surfaces, including car windshields, rearview mirrors, as well as household glass, office glass, door and window glass, and decorative glass. It offers comprehensive performance, is easy to use, and can even be homemade. Below are some related details about windshield washer fluid: 1. Windshield washer fluid is mainly composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. Due to the commonality of its production process and materials, there are some inferior products on the market. When purchasing, shake the bottle vigorously a few times; the more foam there is, the more surfactants it contains. Moreover, the finer the foam, the more environmentally friendly the anionic surfactants are. If the foam is overly expansive, the environmental friendliness is poorer. 2. The thicker the windshield washer fluid, the more active ingredients it contains. Generally, you can turn the bottle upside down to observe the speed of the bubbles rising inside; slower speed indicates higher viscosity. High-quality windshield washer fluid usually has no odor, while inferior products may have a strong chemical smell, and an unpleasant odor may develop if stored for too long. You can smell it when purchasing.
