Prestone PSCW0029A Winter Screenwash, 5 Litre

Product Information

The second reason is that water simply won’t remove tough dirt, stains and marks caused by dead insects and tree sap. Over time, this can lead to reduced visibility, and prolonged abrasion could even damage the windscreen. Myth 3: You can use washing up liquid or other household cleaners Screen wash is an essential fluid that’s used to clean windscreens and, on some cars, rear windows. Having screen wash in your car is a legal requirement; you’ll fail your MOT without it. The first reason is that it freezes, which doesn’t bode well on frosty winter mornings. If water freezes in the wash reservoir or jets, it could cause lasting damage when you try and spray the screen wash, and this will cost you money to repair. The great thing about Prestone Screen Wash is that it’s safe to mix with other products. That means you can add screen wash anytime without worrying about contamination and a drop in cleaning performance. How does Prestone Screen Wash work?

Tested both in the lab and on the road, our flagship screen wash offers guaranteed visibility in all driving conditions – bringing confidence and clarity to every journey.There is little aroma, no foaming and the fluid turned to ice as soon as the temperature dipped below zero. In the cleaning test it left smears from the oil and had no more effect on the glue than plain water. One myth surrounding screen wash is the idea that ready-to-use products don’t offer good value for money. The great thing about ready-to-use screen wash is that it’s been pre-mixed by professionals, so you can always guarantee great performance and freeze protection. Unless your classic is very old, you’ll need to make sure there is some fluid available when you press the button to wash the windscreen. In winter it will help get rid of road grime and salt, in summer it helps clear fly splats, dust and diesel film. Cars rely on two different antifreeze products — antifreeze in screen wash and coolant/antifreeze. Both serve different purposes, but some people get the two muddled up, or think they’re the same thing.

With the needle inserted, carefully adjust the nozzle so that the opening is directed at the windscreen. Then, remove the needle and test the spray. If it’s still not properly aligned, you may need to repeat the process. If that wasn’t enough, we’ve solved the problem of accidental spills by redesigning our screen wash bottles. No more sloshing screen wash all over the engine bay or having to use a funnel; simply pour and go for unrivalled visibility and cleaning power out on the road. How it Works Perhaps the most obvious reason to avoid household cleaners is the amount of foam they produce which, when applied to a windscreen, could lead to reduced visibility. Myth 4: Ready-to-use is a rip off The instructions recommend it is used at the ‘optimum clean’ dilution ratio of 1:9, which stops freezing down to a claimed -3 oC. Whether melting ice on a cold winter’s morning or eliminating dried-on bug splats in the height of summer; Prestone Extreme Performance Screen Wash delivers powerful windscreen cleaning when you need it most.
