Pigging backing off PAdetailers thread on winter windshield washer fluid....what de-icer does everyone recommend?

Are you talking about in the washer reservoir of the car? If so, I simply use an inexpensive washer fluid with a low freezing point. Around here you can typically find three "grades" of fluid with steadily lower freezing points, i.e. 0F, -20F, and -40F.
No. Not the washer fluid but rather the sprays that are sold that you can “treat” your windshield / windows the night before a frost. Or eve just spray on in the morning to help melt the ice.Quote:

Only thing I`ve found is you can easily go through a lot of it if you start using it to remove ice rather than just frost (I hate scraping...)
They are the only ones I found that actually say
- Will not harm enameled paints, chrome, rubber or glass. Free of toxic methanol found in more common brands. Silicone-free. Suitable for plastic headlight lenses.
- Won`t harm paint, chrome or rubber trim
- Doesn`t contain toxic methanol
and for the WW fluid
Guaranteed not to damage paint, glass or rubber. Suitable for plastic headlight lenses.
Wish it was cheaper, dilution ratio is ok but it gets pretty damn cold up here and I`m better than 1:1 to keep it from freezing in the rubber lines going up to the hood
