Every time I use the windshield washer, I wind up with blue fluid drops all over the place, thanks to the auto store purchased blue fluid.

Speaking of clean windshields, I just bought some of those silicon wipers from Tirerack.com (can't remember what they are called) and they work amazingly well.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Every time I use the windshield washer, I wind up with blue fluid drops all over the place, thanks to the auto store purchased blue fluid.
Is there a perfect washer fluid that is clear, works well, and doesn't leave blue stains all over?? What are you guys using?
That's sort of what I was trying to understand. I put in any old crap because I'm never going to use them. I was the windshield when I was the car. That's usually good enough to last until the next wash. In a worse case scenario I stop by the gas station, fill up, and wash my window with the squegee.
You guys never park under a tree, and find dust, dirt, bird stuff, etc on the windshield? In the winter, your windshield doesn't frost up when you are in a hurry? Do you drive with road dust on the windshield instead of cleaning them with a quick spray of the washer?
Nothing bothers me more than a dirty/spotty/dusty windshield! I must be the only one who uses the washers!
no, I use the washers. I just bought some orange stuff. I suppose you could mix methanol (dry gas) with water, but I don't know the ratio offhand. That would be perfectly clear though. And very poisonous.
I think Rain-x makes a solution or something that you can add to washer fluid- that stuff supposedly works good. I don't know what color it is.
I use mine because I often drive long distances and across the country. Even around town I use them to get crap off the window. I figure that if my windows are dusty and have crap on them, then the rest of the car does too, so I don't care if it gets on the car because I need to wash it soon anyway.
Speaking of clean windshields, I just bought some of those silicon wipers from Tirerack.com (can't remember what they are called) and they work amazingly well. I got the ones with carbon fiber-look and the little wind spoilers on them, and holy crap- the water beads up and shoots off the window immediately. Great product.
Hopefully humorous story.... I was driving my 996 in my first DE at Watkins Glen. My instructor was telling me to get my hands back to the wheel and off of the shift as soon as I could. After a few runs, I got the hang of it, had my hands on the wheel and was making very fast movements to the shifter and back to the wheel. On one occasion I accidentally tripped the wipers on. It was while I was just going the fastest I had ever had my car going to that point (downshifted too late, already into the turn). It scared the hell out of me to see my wipers go on and I immediately took my foot off the accelerator which was NOT the correct thing to do now half-way into a turn. The wipers coming on scared the hell out of me and my reaction scared the #$%^ out of the instructor. Just thought about this while reading about the windshield washer fluid. Have a great day.
I've heard some bad stuff about the Rain-x solution. It ends up making a gooey mess.
+1. They work great. I'm going on 18 months with a set and they clear the windshield better than anything else I've tried. They also leave a coat of silicone on the windshield giving RainX-like protection.
-2 for the wind spoilers. Sorry.
Funny, or, scary! People on the 944 forum used to post about pulling the wiper fuse before doing a DE event, just in case! The wiper stalks in our cars are so close to the wheel, you can't help but hit it if you are making a quick turn or correction, etc.
So, would spraying WD-40 on my windshield be the same as using those PIAA wipers?? How do they not streak and cloud up the windshield as they deposit silicone on there?
I put dish soap in one time in HS, and forgot it was in their, and did not try out till I was on the high way.....OMG the window went white with bubbles visibility went from 100% to 0% 3 sec
They don't streak or leave any sort of visible residue at all. You might want to try WD-40 though, it does great at removing water- maybe fill your wiper fluid with it.
Any kind of windshield washer fluid will contain some type of solvent or soap in order get the bug juice off. This stuff can't be good for your paint. Therefore, wouldn't you rather have it be blue, and know where it is so you can wash it off rather than let is sit? Just trying to look on the bright side.
