Product Information
Full details
This concentrated, high-power windscreen washer additive by CarPlan is designed for drivers seeking a clear, streak-free view in all conditions. It effectively removes dirt, grime, and insect deposits while leaving a pleasant orange fragrance inside the car and preventing washer fluid from freezing in winter. A potential caveat is the need for careful dilution to avoid paintwork damage if spilled.

FAQs
What is the correct dilution for summer use?
For normal summer conditions, add 25% concentrated screenwash to 75% water. This will make up to 4 litres of mixture.
How should I dilute it for winter?
In winter, increase the concentration to 50% screenwash and 50% water.
Can I use the screenwash neat?
Yes, in severe winter conditions, the screenwash can be used neat without dilution for maximum anti-freeze protection.
What should I do if I spill the concentrate on my car's paintwork?
If neat fluid is spilt on paintwork, rinse the affected area immediately with plenty of clean water.
Does this screenwash help prevent freezing?
Yes, the concentrated formula includes ingredients to help prevent the washer bottle contents from freezing, especially when used at higher concentrations in colder weather.
How long does the orange scent last?
The orange scent lingers throughout the car, fragrancing the interior and helping to dispel unpleasant smells.
How many litres of mixture can I make from one bottle?
When mixed with water in normal summer conditions (25% concentrate), one bottle can make up to 4 litres of screenwash mixture.
Troubleshooting
Screenwash is freezing in the reservoir.
Increase the concentration of the screenwash. For winter use, a 50% mixture is recommended, and for severe winter conditions, use the product neat.
Streaks or residue on the windscreen after washing.
Ensure the screenwash is properly diluted according to the seasonal recommendations. Check if the washer nozzles are clean and aligned correctly. If using a very old or degraded mixture, flush the system and refill with a fresh, correctly diluted batch.
Insect deposits are not being fully removed.
Allow the screenwash to dwell on the windscreen for a few moments before activating the wipers. For very stubborn deposits, a higher concentration or a second application may be necessary. Ensure the wipers are in good condition.
Unpleasant odor in the car.
This product is designed to add a pleasant orange fragrance. If an unpleasant odor persists, ensure the screenwash was not spilled on sensitive interior materials without rinsing. Check the washer fluid reservoir for any signs of contamination.
