You should use windshield washer fluid only when the temperature drops near freezing. Otherwise it's just a waste of money, water will do fine.

I use washer fluid year round in mine. If you use just tap water, you can get deposit build up in the lines so I would recommend either washer fluid or distilled water.

Water Wetter is for your radiator. Mix 40/30/30 or however you want to do it. Doesn't matter by much. 40=antifreeze 30=DI water 30=Redline Water Wetter.

Winshield washer juice is best but, the tidy bowl lip sucks.

Distilled water a. wont clog ur nozzles b. has the best hot/cold temperments.

its only useless if you dont use the car for what its intended for! I use washer fluid, and I buy the -25 deg stuff or colder if I can find it, has more alcohol in it. Take your car out to an autocross during a hot *** day and try 2 runs with 2 runs without, trust me, there's a difference

I put Ice in there, big chunks of it.

That usually mixed with alcohol does the trick for a good day or two.

you could put rubbing alcohol, methanol, water, whiskey, vodka. Something that will evaporate fast as a very cold temperature.

i second the rubbing alcohol idea, it will evaporate faster than water....
but if you're using ice, use distilled water....
