Default What Windshield washer fluid do you guys use? (I already searched)

My dealer told me to use water instead of normal Windshield washer fluid, I use a blue windshield washer fluid which contains a little Alchohol with my 4Runner I bought at Kmart.

Something better????

Default Rain-X. I don't use the winshield treatment inside, just the washer fluid. It coats the glass making

rain bead nicely. A good tip is cleaning the glass, and especially wiping the blades down with alcohol. I cut a sprayer top to fit the alcohol bottle, and it does wonders. I am saving enough on new wiper blades to buy an S4!

Default Your dealer supposed to top up for free. Audi stuff comes as a concentrate

at the parts dept, if you want to keep some at home. Alcohol based.

Default I picked up a bottle from my dealer on the way home...

I was running low, called the service dept, told them I needed some wiper fluid but I wouldn't make it before the service dept closed. They said "no problem" and that they would leave a bottle up the front for me.

No charge, no hassle. I just had to mix it with water since it was concentrated. I forget who made the stuff, but hey, it was free.
