Found a very old bottle of 5L pure screenwash from Halfrauds the other week, not been used in a few years i think, but used it anyway, although i did not freeze during the night, and washes fairly well, cruising along at a gentle 80mph this morning, near High Wycombe with the temp gauge saying it was -8.5 outside 

The water froze to the blades as soon as it touched it 

Although it does look like i sneezed and snotted them....

Yuk  Has your car got a cold

Mine's fairly new and still froze

And it's neat in the bottle at the moment

Would it be worth adding a touch of coolant into the washer bottle or would that be potentially reckless and disasterous?

Not unless i intend on drinking it! Screenwash is anti-freeze anyway....

I'll use this lot then flush it with water, and put some GM stuff in

Doesn't antifreeze take the paint off??

Yes, just a bit different to screenwash!!!

he did say capful.... that mixture to 7L of water is not going to do much.

I use the Holts stuff.  Partly because its dirt cheap at Costco, but mainly becuase Costco had a 2 for 1 offer a couple of weeks back

[Elite Pete]

I bought 5 ltrs of the Vauxhall stuff, its cheap and works well enough

do not buy the readymix from halfrauds. i did and it froze in the pipes and bottle at -5. that was the pink so called premium. god knows what temp the blue stuff freezes at. get one that you can mix yourself so you can decide on the mix ratio. i put some non premixed in (-23) neat. hasnt froze yet.

Yep, a touch of coolant as opposed to a Touch of Frost.

I think they are excellent, and he does well in all of them.
