Best screen wash?

Ok, I know this has been touched on slightly in other winter threads but just wanted a few opinions seeing as my washers keeps freezing.

At the moment I'm using halfords ready mixed pink screen wash as it was on offer in the autumn, it was fine until last couple of weeks when anything below about -3 and my wash freezes, and this has proved pretty damn dangerous as I've been using my forester quite a bit to get to work in london when the trains have been unable to run.

So apart from halfords what's the best low temperature screen wash??

Also the 'joints' in my bosch wiper blades have been freezing quite a bit too which means that hardly any of the blade touches the curved windscreen! I take it the all rubber 'aero' blades would be better?

Cheers

Just fill it with water and top it up with a load of salt. Good cheap option.

I've been impressed with this stuff from Lidl:



It's about £6 for 5 litres of concentrate, has a slightly lemony smell and supposedly is good for -40 neat, and -20 (50:50).

They don't always stock it though.

I use GM's Opticlear stuff, neat. Works fine at -16C ambient at 50mph.

5 litres is about £4.50 at your local Vauxhall dealership.

Edit: Seems the GM stuff is actually made by Sonax.
