Even the good shit is only about $4 a gallon. Do you realise how much effort it takes to fill a tank that size with cum? Very tiring. ---

The orange stuff beads up and leaves fewer streaks than the blue stuff. ---

You can use liquid beep from your horn fluid reservoir in a pinch. It’s much cheaper and there’s never been a case of it freezing. ---

> [@gotpasswords](#): > > IME, most generic blue WW fluid is labeled for -20, but at +25, it freezes as soon as it hits the glass, and at +20, it freezes inside the lines. I’ve switched to a name-brand that claims to de-ice, and no more problems with freezing. Huh…the generic blue stuff up here must be better than where you are. I’ve never had ANY washer fluid freeze in the lines, and I’ve had weeks that were some of the coldest in the lower 48 states…like, a full week of maybe hitting -5 F in you’re lucky. And I’ve certainly never had it freeze on contact on the glass at only 25. In the single digits and maybe teens, yes, but 25? That’s almost shorts weather in January! 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/they-put-the-wrong-windshield-washer-fluid-in/563979.md?page=1)
