Product Information

The second reason is that water simply won’t remove tough dirt, stains and marks caused by dead insects and tree sap. Over time, this can lead to reduced visibility, and prolonged abrasion could even damage the windscreen.

Where to Buy The results make it difficult to believe these tablets are much more than just dye, and to compound our frustration the liquid also seemed to stain our containers and give our hands a blue tinge. Verdict

The company has opted to make the products look different by colour (and smell) coding them according to the temperature protection level. The -20C liquid we selected is green and ‘Citrus’ flavour. Screen wash is an essential fluid that’s used to clean windscreens and, on some cars, rear windows. Having screen wash in your car is a legal requirement; you’ll fail your MOT without it. Decades of car maintenance know-how have gone into Prestone Extreme Performance Screen Wash, so you can be assured of outstanding performance with every spray. And with year-round cleaning guaranteed, you can use the same screen wash through all four seasons – for maximum cleaning performance and convenience. At the summer mix ratio the cleaning performance was adequate, clearing the oil and leaving a small residue of glue, but no smearing.If you’re tempted to squirt a few drops of washing up liquid into your car’s screen wash reservoir, we wouldn’t recommend doing so. While household cleaners are great for cleaning up dirt and grime around the home, they’re not fit for use on cars, and contain harsh chemicals which can damage paintwork and other metallic surfaces. Not only that, but household cleaning products offer zero protection against freezing, leaving you without protection when the temperature drops. This depends on your average mileage, driving conditions and the time of year. You may need to replace screen wash every week if you cover a lot of miles, particularly in the winter. In summer, you’ll generally use less screen wash, though it will be needed to remove streaks and dust from the windscreen to prevent dangerous sun dazzle. Developed specifically for warm weather driving, the wash’s powerful cleaning formula cuts through dirt, deposits, and streaks, giving you total confidence out on the road. Lift the bonnet and locate the screen wash reservoir cap; it’s typically blue with a windscreen icon on the top. Flip open the cap, hold the lid out of the way, and begin pouring.

We tried seven different types, testing them for freeze resistance in winter conditions and cleaning ability at weaker summer concentrations. It’s a legal requirement– that’s right, you could receive a fixed penalty notice if the police pull you over and discover you have no screen wash, especially when there’s reason to believe that reduced visibility has caused you to drive dangerously.It’s the best way to remove streaks, bugs and dirt from the windscreen– car windscreens are exposed to all sorts out on the road, and water alone just isn’t able to cut through that dirt. Thanks to powerful cleaning agents, screen wash makes light work of most marks, streaks and stains, so you’re guaranteed excellent visibility. Winter might mean more rain, slush and road dirt on your windscreen, but summer offers up its own set of visibility problems. From dust to dead insects, your windscreen goes through a lot, whatever the season — so you should always make sure your car is filled with premium screen wash. After all, it’s the law. The cleaning ability was adequate if not spectacular, clearing the oil but leaving a remnant of our glue. This means that the Tesco wash is good value, but you’ll need to use more of it to clean away screen grime and refill the reservoir more often. Prestone Max Visibility Screen Wash Prestone Extreme Performance Screen Wash ensures maximum cleaning power to remove stubborn dirt from your windscreen. It also helps you drive in extreme conditions all year round, by melting ice down to -18ᵒC and preventing dangerous sun dazzle.

Screen wash reservoir caps are almost always blue, which should make it easy to find under the bonnet. Depending on the size of the bottle, we’d recommend using a funnel to add the screen wash. If you don’t have one to hand, turning larger bottles on their side can help with pouring. Below is a video we posted on our YouTube channel that shows us testing one of the screen washes. As you can see, it takes less than a minute to top up the screen wash and the bottle on this particular screen wash had an “easy-pour” spout that made pouring in the formula far easier and less messy.Prestone Summer Screen Wash guarantees maximum visibility out of the front and rear windows, so you can drive safe no matter what the British summer throws your way.
