Re: Windshield washer fluid hyundai i10

Put water in washer container as a fluid and get some Windshield washing fluid packs from Maruti ASS, you can see that in pic. It's for 15rs. You can put that one pack in 1 litr water or can directly put into the washer fluid container.

The car takes 2 liters windshield water. So if you buy that maruti screenwash get 2 packets. Or just get a waxpol windshield washer from a local car shop, mix it in 2 liters of water and put it in the container.

Hi, I was running along this thread, and I could not find a discussion on this thought point :-

Car exterior includes Black Plastics and Trims also and you can find one just below the Windshield glass also. The wash-off from the windshield flows on to it and drains through the hole on this Trim.

Your car would lose its stock freshness and look very much ugly and old if this Trim becomes grey or white. [gun]

Hence be careful when using Hair shampoo or similar substances including Tooth paste! (I read this suggestion somewhere else and not in this thread). Long term use of this may lead to graying of this trim!

I also have experience of graying of Trim, due to careless usage of Wax polish on the Car! Had to go for Dashboard polish, I got one which is manufactured by Pidilite industries, it was effective.

Anybody thought about this?

Now I feel that for windscreen, 1) we shall use cleaning liquid available for Mirrors/Glasses, 2) The substance must be mild and not powerful...

Please discuss...

1 sachet shapoo +100 ml colin+ soft water.. thats it. Its a miracle mixture for screen. Use your worn out vest to wipe out the water marks.

Note: Its not the magic of a windshield washer fluid. Have a look into this thread for more information. http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/product-reviews/15591-proklear-nano-anti-glare-rain-shield-treatment-windshield.html

Anyways I use the washer fluid made by the same brand. Cost is about Rs.200/- for a 250ml bottle. Have to add just 5ml to the washer fluid tank and it work like a charm. So for each fill the cost is just Rs5/- [evil]
Here is the ebay link Proklear WWC
I brought mine somewhere in 2013 and yet not finished.

Whenever I drive I need a crystal clear windshield and I'm very satisfied with these products.[glasses]

Do you notice any impact of using this product on wiper blades?

How would you rate this product against the likes of
1. sonax cear view concentrate
2. ABRO windshield washer
I am confused in choosing the right product

Yes, when there is no OILY dirt over the windshield or on the wiper, the wiper tend to vibrate(Still the wipe will be clean). By using the Proklear windshield washer fluid, it helps in a smooth wipe.

Before going out if I find the windshield is accumulated with lots of dust and oily dirt, then Instead of cleaning them using the wipers and the washer fluid, I use surf powder solution and a micro fibre cloth for cleaning the windshield and wipers at first.

I'm Sorry, I cant rate them against the proklear since I dont have experiences with them.
Anyways I heard lots of satisfactory feedback from the sonax and Abro users.

Instead of just going for the washer fluids. I will recommend you to have a try with the Abro Clear View Anti-Rain (Arbo AR-180) product.

The reason for recommending abro Anti-Rain over Proklear Anti-rain is due to its easiness of applying. Its because Abro is a coating on to the windshiled where as proklear is a bonding, hence latter one has the difficult application procedure but highly durable.

Here is the Link,

I too recommend Proklear products. Have been using all of there products past many months and none have disappointed me. Its a trust-able brand.

Previously I was using colin glass cleaner (Not for Windshield Washer Liquid though) to clean dusty windshield but it used to leave hazy surface and buffing with paper or microfiber cloth didn't helped much.

This wasn't the issue with Proklear WWC. It does leave hazy surface but can be easily wiped using paper or dry cloth. Its pretty cheap on pocket as well.

I have also heard regular using of colin on plastic and painted surfaces is not good, not sure its true though but Proklear WWC is safe on all surfaces.

Sonax is a German brand and trust-able but you get all out-dated products here in India. Same case is for Turtle wax too.

As of glass treatment for water repellent, Rain-X Original Glass Treatment is also good. I have used it few times and its easy to apply, just like applying wax. Proklear Nano Treatment takes more time because the process includes pre-cleaning which removes all above surface stains and oils but out-come will be awesome. :)
