Washing-up liquid for summer

Washer fluid is one of the most important operating products, which must be replenished in our car. If someone still uses winter fluid, it's time to use the leftovers in the tank and buy a product that's right for the season. Of course, the division means summer and winter.

Why a lukewarm windscreen washer fluid?

It is not only in the winter season that the liquid has a wide range of applications. In summer, it is necessary, among other things, to wipe dusty glass or clean it in adverse weather conditions, but also to remove insects that will break down on our glass. While driving on the highway, we have to expect that many of these creatures will appear on our windscreen. It is also worth remembering to remove such residues as soon as possible, because if they dry out, wiping them will be more difficult to achieve. Then our fluid will also wear faster. In terms of safety and less work with insect removal after stopping the vehicle, it will also be possible to remove insects at the station.

Harmful methanol

When choosing a summer windscreen washer fluid, you will want to read the label carefully and check if the product is recommended for removing insects from the windscreen. Let's remember that it can only be a marketing trick, you can write everything on the label, and the truth will come out only when you use it.

It will be worth checking what is the composition of such a liquid. Among other things, whether methanol appears there. It should be a maximum of three percent. If there is more than 10, we do not buy such liquid in any case. It should be remembered that methanol is very dangerous to health and may cause problems with vision, breathing, kidneys and physical activity. A cabin filter will not help here.

Price caps

When buying windscreen washer fluid, beware of price traps. They can be divided into two types. Sometimes the cost of purchase seems to be very attractive. Until you pay attention to the litre of the container. If we calculate the price of a small tank, for example five times, it will turn out that the result is not beneficial for us and our pocket will certainly not benefit from it. The second issue is when you buy the cheapest possible product. Even if the composition will not be questioned by us, you can be afraid that the intensity of the smell will affect the comfort of travel. That is why we need to be careful about apparent savings, which may become a problem in the future.

Small but happy

Sometimes labels instead of long printed text have mainly pictograms, i.e. a kind of image in the case of washer fluids, sometimes they speak less than the content of the magazine when you need simple and understandable messages shown. If a black X appears on the packaging, the corpse of the skull, it is better to avoid buying such a product. From a practical point of view, it is also worth seeing if a practical screw-on adapter is included in the package, thanks to which pouring such liquid will be more convenient.
