Thanks Andy

Its good stuff, but a bit pricey when you consider that Mrs TB must drive with the washers permenently on.

I get whatever is going cheap at the time - last lot was a load of crappy Holts at a fiver for 2 x 4l concentrate.  Got a garage full of it at that price

[Jimbob]

I stocked up last winter, at £1 for 5 litres of opticlean special offer!

still got about 3 x 5l left

Macro 5 litres for 1.99 i think it was. Still got 3 out of 10 bottles in the garage from .... Ooh must be over a year ago by now. Cant remember the name but prefer it to the vx stuff and its chalky marks once dry.

[Del Boy]

If the VX stuff leaves chalky marks I'll avoid that, never goes well with black. Have offically run out of screen wash after two years. Stocked up two years ago with about 40 litres worth

If the VX stuff leaves chalky marks I'll avoid that, ..........

never had a problem with marks while using Vx screen wash, isn't that more likely to be a result of crappy chalky water?

that is logical, the water round here is shite and is very hard. However only the vx stuff does it IME  . Fine with anything else. 

[Jimbob]

after seeing the cheap stuff freeze neat last year, vursus my diluted gm staying liquid...

I know which I prefer, cleans better, and dont find any deposit difference.

Each to their own though, one mans gold, anothers poison etc.

[Del Boy]

Works out I can get 25 litres of GM for £27.50, don't want it to be chalky though really black cars and what not. However it's got to be worth a try, or I buy a 25 litre drum from eBay for £20, but I don't know if that's any good?

[feeutfo]

Is it worth buying a smaller bottle first, see how you go with it?

[joff]

I get 4 for the price of 3 at vauxhall the same as we do on the oil and they take another 15% off

The Vauxhall Screen was made by Sonax. It also helps to use distilled water in the washers as well
