5L pre-mixed solution ready to pour straight in for the perfect ratio every time
Removes grime and insect residue to keep your windscreen crystal clear when driving
Cleans and lubricates wiper rubbers to avoid costly replacements in long sunny periods without rain
No smear formula provides a cleaner wipe and helps bead water off the windscreen for safer driving

(The only hurdle is to get a smaller pourer to tip this 5 litres into first. If you've got the typical Bars Bugs bottles keep them for transfer)

    https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-windscreen-wash-…. The concentrate is a lot better value.

    Makes 16L and cheaper

      Do you mix it with water inside the car's windscreen washer reservoir?

      • indemnity on 15/04/2022 - 09:53
        +1

        Preferably you first mix in a separate container then pour that in the car. The concentrate is a thick liquid and there is not much mixing in the reservoir.

        • htc on 15/04/2022 - 10:06

          Do this liquid clog the system overtime like detergent?

            @htc: Should not clog.

            The product contains mostly ammonia and some preservative chemicals. It's incredibly similar to OEM window cleaning fluids.

            Usually household detergent clogs your vehicle because household detergent is great bacteria food. The bacteria eat it, form a biofilm and block filters/nozzles. This product is very corrosive and toxic to bacteria due to high pH ammonia and the biocides

              @indemnity:

              because household detergent is great bacteria food.

              No it isn't.

              This product is very corrosive

              So it will corrode my car?

          Nothing a few hard brakes, speed bumps, and donuts can't fix? :P

    • htc on 16/04/2022 - 14:04

      No longer available on website, ozbargained? The 375 mL is the same price, not sure why people will buy the 375 mL. Now only 375 mL available on Repco website. Hope Repco will make the 600mL available again.

    I've been told this is the best washer fluid - 5L concentrate for $15:

      No idea if it's the best but it's better than any other I've used.

      I've always used just water and not really noticed the limitations of that. Provided you aren't letting the windows getting rekd first.

    Go with the concentrates. Cheaper and just mix it in a clean garden plastic watering can and pour away.

    Bar's Bugs Windscreen Cleaner (Concentrate) - 5 Litre (Makes 200 Litres) Been using this for more than 6 years

    https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/bars-bugs-bars-bugs-wind…

    It was on sale for $10 back then. It has been excellent. Still about a third left… 2 cars

  • Fobsessive on 15/04/2022 - 11:20

    How often do you use windscreen washer jets, provided you regularly clean the windscreen?

    • pao2x on 15/04/2022 - 11:23
      +1

      I use it a lot in summer to help the A/C cool the car down after parking in the hot sun. That was when we actually had summer

      • Fobsessive on 15/04/2022 - 11:25

        Cooling the windscreen helps the A/C that much?

        • pao2x on 15/04/2022 - 11:30
          +2

          No scientific data but IMO yes. We used to use the same technique to cool cardiac arrest or brain injury patients, I don't see why it won't work for cars. Also car is parked out of cover all the time so its windshield gets grubby quick, so it is used well.

            @pao2x: I like to pour a 500mL bottle of refilled water onto my windscreen and then immediately run the wipers. Lots of water for an easy clean.

            @pao2x: TIL on OzB that
            car = human body
            and
            windscreen cooling = cooling heart/brain injured bodies

            :-D

      • spaceflight on 15/04/2022 - 22:49

        Wetting the glass will do nothing when the dash (and everything else in the car) is hot and radiating heat

    Can someone right my wrong?…

    What are these windscreen specific washes offering that mixing Windex doesn't?

    • whyisave on 15/04/2022 - 12:02

      Can you get Windex concentrate in decent pricing?
      I would be interested too.
      PS:
      Also, Windex shower-screen.

    • aoeueoa on 15/04/2022 - 12:04
      +2

      Based on My encyclopaedia Britannica qualifications I think windex is water and ammonia and washer fluid is more bubbly soap stuff. Come to think of it I don't know what point I'm trying to make.

      • whyisave on 15/04/2022 - 12:14

        May as well, just mix in some white vinegar with water,
        for the windescreen wiper fluid, and make a truly organic solution and cheaply.

    • indemnity on 15/04/2022 - 12:21

      Can you use Windex in car washer? Sure. Should you? No.

      Windex can damage your car washer system and car paint.

      Windex is ammonia, isopropanolamine and some speciality detergents+penetrants+fragrance. One of those is 2-hexoxyethanol which will crack rubber seals, plus it's also a great paint stripper.

      You will probably notice the washer spray jets and your wipers need replacing more frequently. Maybe even some lighter coloured paint or bubbly paint around the windshield.

      • whyisave on 15/04/2022 - 21:09

        I saw that, but I didn't post it,
        because it was a "special order" item.

        But you are right, it is the cheapest per litre,
        and will definitely last the next 25 years !

    For the Windex users out there, don't think the look alike Ajax glass cleaner is a worthy substitute.

    I get that concentrate is cheaper overall but how long would it take to use this 5L bottle?

      Not long at all.

    Just a drop of light dishwashing liquid in a water reservoir will do and save the environment from more plastic containers from china
