Here's something to invent: Windshield washer that doesn't freeze, with
the vehicle just sitting in the driveway. I've lived here 25 years and
never had this problem until now. 3 weeks back, I had to drain the
entire tank of whatever crap the mechanic put in it. Went & bought some
other crap, which worked for a day when the temp was in the high 20s.
This week, frozen again. Two different brands! Next, the fancy pink
stuff from Armorall or whoever makes it.



I was just reading about this in another NG. Apparently ( I never
noticed this ) there is a "summer" windshield washer fluid that looks
just like the winter stuff (same blue color) but is only good to 32
degrees. Maybe you got some of the wrong stuff.

The latest bottle says it's good to -25 F. !!! What a crock. And again,
this is while standing still. No wind chill.


I refuse to enter into a "wind chill" debate about non-living objects.

I agree. The label on the blue crap disagrees, but who cares? Whoever mixed
the stuff was lying. Maybe I'll dump a bottle of 151 rum into the tank.

There you go. Add diaquiri mix and you can drain it in the
spring and drink it!!
