Screenwash / wipers

Hiya

Just seen this and doesn’t look to bad

10x litres , rated at - 20c , also says in reviews handy to put some into a spray bottle and use as a de icer

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Polygard-Arc...0005.m1851

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143623230814

Currently got the bosch aerotwin wipers so will also be changing them , Found them terrible for smearing , so will be looking around for some better ones

Many thks and hope the link is useful Thumbs Up

Heck, that's a lot of screen wash once diluted, especially at 1:4

If it doesn't cut the mustard, it's alot of chemical to dispose of. Perhaps try a small 1 ltr bottle first before you commit?

I have a 25ltr drum of turtle wax wash n wax in the shed i bought at Costco years ago but i didn't rate it so it's sat there almost full.

Personally i use Prestone concentrate as i find it doesn't make the wipers go hard or smear. It can can be picked up on occasion at a keen price in Tesco.

Just, like today, ordered this little lot. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B014VA...&psc=1

Plus put Bosch aero-thingie blades on Skippy as the factory fit ones are suuuuuuuuuuuperb. Excuse the pun. Great in everything from drizzle to chucking it down. I was deffo enjoying the pouring rain more than the poor TA squaddies doing mortar drills in a field at Warcop training area. Laughing Laughing

Looks a good deal Thumbs Up

Maybe they’ve improved the aero twin blades then , as the last 2 x sets have been useless , tried a 22 and 21 on the drivers side , no difference

see aeros around £19.00 for a pair of 22 inch and around £22.00 per pair for the valeo

Or they just are better on a more raked windscreen in the Karoq? Got to be better than the factory ones, they are really bad. Evil or Very Mad

I've always bought Michelin Stealth blades from Costco & found them decent enough. I replace them every 12 months.
When on offer they are cheap too.

The "concentrate" isn't any more concentrated than the ready to use stuff from Halfords. The -20 performance comes when the product is used undiluted. I've noticed several products like this and found that when you buy them for winter use they're no cheaper than ready to use -20 stuff. The ebay "deal" is £6.50 per 5L so it's more than the Halfords equivalent ready mix -20 stuff.

These days I use Rain-X ready to use -20 mix. A bit more expensive than normal screenwash but you get water beading as part of the package. Thumbs Up

re: wiper blades. I used to swear by Alco blades for previous cars but they just didn't work on the D4.

The Bosch Aeros work fine on my D4 and I wouldn't buy anything else unless I was in a real stitch.
