P21S Windshield washer boost and swipes

01-23-02, 11:08

With the winter months upon us, The build up of salt film on the glass really bothers me on road trips. The regular washer fluid just doesnt cut it at cleaning, has anyone tried the washer fluid boost. Also do those swipes work good at a quick clean of glass? Will the washer boost have any adverse affects on my paint or klasse finish?

I have heard the the swipes are not very good, can't tell you on the washer boost though.

I can say without hesitation that I think the Washer Boost does a great job. Gives the fluid that extra kick it needs to deal with the mess. One bottle will last years since you only add a small amount of it to a gallon of regular washer fluid. Both vehicles that I use it on are Klasse'd, and I have seen no adverse affects.

Is it just a "washer boost" meaning soapy water or does it also perform as an anti-freeze?

It's not soapy, and it's not anti-freeze, though it can be safely mixed with anti-freeze washer fluid. Smells good too.

Well as long as it smells good. That is all that really matters

I tried the wipes and was disappointed. Always ended up with streaks.
