FAQs
What is the correct dilution for summer use?
For normal summer conditions, add 25% concentrated screenwash to 75% water. For a 4-liter mixture, this means 1 liter of screenwash and 3 liters of water.
How much screenwash should I use in winter?
In winter, increase the concentration to 50% screenwash and 50% water. For severe winter conditions, the screenwash can be used neat (undiluted).
Can I use this screenwash neat all year round?
Using the screenwash neat is recommended only for severe winter conditions to prevent freezing. In summer, using it neat is generally unnecessary and may require more rinsing of paintwork.
Will this screenwash damage my car's paintwork?
The screenwash is designed for glass. If neat fluid spills onto paintwork, it must be rinsed off immediately with water to prevent potential damage.
How long does the orange scent last?
The orange scent is designed to linger in the car's interior after use, helping to fragrance the cabin and mask unpleasant odors.
What are the benefits of using a concentrated screenwash?
A concentrated formula allows for flexible dilution ratios depending on the season and driving conditions, offering good value and preventing freezing.
Can I mix this with other screenwash fluids?
It is generally recommended not to mix different screenwash products, as this may affect performance or cause adverse reactions. Always use as directed.
Troubleshooting
Screen is not clean after washing.
Ensure the correct dilution ratio is used. For heavy soiling, a second wash may be necessary, or consider using the screenwash neat in severe conditions (not recommended for summer use).
Washer fluid reservoir is frozen.
In winter, ensure a higher concentration of screenwash (50% or neat) was used. If frozen, allow the system to thaw naturally or use a de-icer product. Never try to operate frozen washers.
Screenwash fluid spilled on paintwork.
Immediately rinse the affected paintwork thoroughly with plenty of clean water. Do not let the fluid dry on the paint.
Washer pump is not dispensing fluid.
Check the washer fluid level. Ensure the reservoir is not empty and the pump is receiving power. If the fluid is frozen, wait for it to thaw.
