Winter driving can be very messy, and freezing rain can make your windshield impossible to see through.
Rain-x, long known for its glass treatment products which repel water, has a product which I have used for years with great success -- a windshield washer fluid with de-icer.
What this product does is pretty simple. Not only does it clean your windshield effectively, it applies Rain-x beading protection and acts as a very effective de-icer. If your windshield gets a coating of ice, this will get rid of it.
A couple of points... I like to make sure that the washer fluid reservoir is empty of other fluid before adding the Rain-x. When it's diluted with another fluid it becomes less or ineffective in my experience. Second, make sure if you take your vehicle to a shop for oil changes that you tell them not to fill the washer fluid. It's a good idea to tape down the reservoir cap with a label to help ensure that you don't accidentally end up with the wrong stuff.
Rain-x de-icer can be found at many auto parts and accessories retailers.
I have used this product extensively in my vehicles during the cold weather in Manitoba. Wonderful stuff, works as it is purported to. Well worth the extra few dollars.
