I usually grab Prestone screenwash; It's quite available in tesco and does a good job - Never had any freezing issues, cleans relatively well and smells nice (Nice enough to get comments from passengers)

I use Tutti Frutti flavour lick screen wash made by Triple QX.
(Not ready to use, it needs to be diluted)

I have heard some tales of strange reactions caused by mixing some screen washes so before I switched my cars to the Tutti Frutti I made sure the screen wash reservoirs were empty and I flushed the pipes through with a bit of plain water.

Decosol. I’m a bit of a screen wash snob and nothing else comes close. Used to be in most garages but became a little scarce, so I buy it online now and keep it in the boot.

Never buy ready mixed waste of money

I used to use the German stuff Lidl sold, can't get it any longer.

Use screwfix fluid now

I too use Prestone, but not the ready-mix.

The concentrated stuff can be diluted more for summer & left stronger for winter.

I've got se from my local spares place -18c rates ( think) 20l for £20 can be diluted probably 70% -80% during the summer and even in winter 60/40 to water will give enough protection for most of the uk

+3! Why 3? My 2 sons and I use it in our own cars, it's great. The only difference is that we buy the concentrate as I don't fancy paying for water when I can provide my own.
