    I use the rainex stuff that works with rainex windscreen treatment. That stuff is gold, really good. Pain in the arse to apply though.

    Best is the Wurth additive.
    But Bars Bugs is very good. We use both at work.
    BB is very good in a spray bottle to clean the glass and wiper blades. Use a 100% concentration for that.
    But in the w/screen reservoir use 25ml/L of water

    Plain old CRC works nicely for that too.

    Sorry to hijack the thread but I get a nasty film/growth on my windscreens. I normally use bars bugs but have tried lots of products. Name: 20240113_070810.jpg Views: 382 Size: 2.76 MB
    It shows up really bad when there's sunstrike.

    When I bought my current ute last year I drove it down from Palmerston North and when I got off the ferry in Picton it was getting dark and beginning to rain, Despite the windscreen looking clean I couldn't see a bloody thing especially when lights approached me, stopped in Kaikoura and got a bottle of this stuff and it cleared it up straight away. Turns out the detailer at the dealership had got a bit carried away and waxed the bloody windscreen which explains why no amount of plain water was taking it off. Have kept up using it and found it really good.
