FAQs

What is the lowest temperature this concentrate can protect against?

When used undiluted, LIQUI MOLY Screen Wash Windshield Antifreeze Concentrate can provide frost protection down to approximately -52°C.

How do I determine the correct dilution ratio?

The dilution depends on the expected temperature. For example, use a 1:2 concentrate to water ratio for protection up to -9°C, and a 1:1 ratio for up to -17°C. Refer to the product label or guide for precise ratios for different temperature thresholds.

Is this product safe for my car's paint and rubber seals?

Yes, the formula is designed to be gentle and does not attack plastics, rubber, or paint. It also maintains the suppleness of rubber components.

Can I use this in my car with LED or Xenon headlights?

Yes, it is specifically mentioned as being suitable for LED and Xenon headlamps and clear-glass style plastic lenses made of polycarbonate.

Do I need to empty my summer washer fluid before adding this concentrate?

It is recommended to empty the summer washer fluid first, especially if sub-zero temperatures are expected soon, to ensure you have adequate frost protection. Then fill with the correct mixture of concentrate and water.

How much fluid do I need to make?

The amount depends on your vehicle's reservoir size and the dilution ratio you choose. For example, if you mix 1 part concentrate with 1 part water, you will get double the volume of the concentrate you started with.

Troubleshooting

Washer fluid is not spraying or nozzles are frozen.

Ensure the reservoir is filled and the fluid has been diluted correctly for the current temperature. If temperatures are extremely low, use a more concentrated mixture or the undiluted product. Check for any physical blockages in the nozzles.

Streaky or hazy windshield after using washer fluid.

The dilution ratio may be incorrect, or the windshield may require cleaning of residual grime. Try adjusting the dilution or cleaning the windshield separately. Ensure the correct mix is used for the temperature to prevent freezing spots.

Wiper blades are chattering or not clearing effectively.

While the fluid improves sliding properties, persistent chattering may indicate worn wiper blades. Replace wiper blades if they are old or damaged. Ensure the windshield is clean.
