Where's the Lidl super-dooper screenwash this year?

[Dog Star]

The big 5 litre bottles of -60c screenwash in Lidl - they're a bit late this year.
Anybody got any in their local Lidl yet? I tend to get a whole years worth in one bulk buy every winter, use it almost neat over winter then dilute til the following winter.

I'm running low now.

This got me reading about the ingredients of screenwash, which seems to be a mix of water, ethanol and ethylene glycol.
It can't be that one maker has 'better' chemicals than other, can it?

The Lidl stuff represents pretty well the best there is - it's very cheap, doesn't smear and as far as I'm aware performs best. the next-best options are all, as pointed out above, pretty expensive.

I commute on the M62 every day over the Pennines and I use absolutely buckets full of it.

I don't think they do it any more?
I even rang their helpline and they have no record of any deliveries this year.

Shame because it was the best stuff out there.

This is tragic

15 direct from the van

Still 2.5 times more expensive that the Lidl elixir.

Or cheap groceries that are surprisingly decent? Loads of the Lidl stuff is great. Maybe its less for poor people and more for people who are careful with money and like german cake?

I love Lidl, it's my favourite shop. That German Christmas cake - Stollen! I can eat so much of that I can make myself sick!

On sale Thursday the 5th for 1.99 per 5L.

It's in my local Rochdale branch now, but it's not the -60C stuff I mentioned originally. However at £1.99 it's still very good value, I bought 15l today, which will last about three weeks.

Face going in to a Lidl Store?
WHAT THE HELL?

They recently updated the look on our local Lidl, supposedly they are going to do it with every store, now when you come inside it looks much ''Posher'' than all the new cool Tesco's.

+1 Lidl and Aldi are great.

The nearest Lidl to me has just been demolished and rebuilt and it's very nice indeed.

Do you mean this stuff:

I think there's still another one lurking at the back of the garage

Blimey - that must be absolutely ancient; it's the right stuff but for years it's been in that clear bottle that's in the OP.
