Which color windshield washer fluid to buy?

[BlueBird]

The title says it all. I bought blue last time but now I'm thinking of buying the green.

Hmm, generally, I think of green as a summer mix, a better variant of the blue, has gunk to break up bugs. Orange is what I switch to in the winter.

And yes, I think about washer fluid.....

Rain-X. It may be green or purple.

The orange stuff. But whatever you get, don't mix them.

The weird colors are awful.

Gee I've been so close minded that I didn't even consider the other colors....

This complicates things.

Just use tap water.

Just use tap water.

In the summer maybe but during he winter no way.

I owned a 1997 blazer several years ago and I used to always use water then after a night of freezing temps the water froze and cracked the reservoir. Not worth saving a few dollars... I guess you could add a little alcohol to the mixture but then why not just by the real stuff.

Avis almost killed my azz once that way.....rented a car that turned out to have water in that tank.

If you have some blue left, mix it with green. The color is called cyan. Sounds upscale. You will be the talk of the neighborhood. Actually, no matter what color I use for windshield cleaner/deicer shows up clear on the windshield. Is my car weird?

I like the orange too, the purple is kinda nice too it will actually melt the ice on your windshield where the blue doesn't.

I ended up going with the purple, so now I'm just waiting for my reservoir to become empty so I can fill it up. I don't want to end up on a bad "trip" during my next road trip.

I thought the purple should smell like grapes. It doesn't.

I've discovered that none of those automotive fluids taste as good as they look. Take antifreeze, for example,....

 

[GWguy]

Ok. I absconded with the antifreeze. Now what?

 

[Gilligan]

OK Groucho... You gonna be here all week?

Or was that Rodney Dangerfield's line? "Take my wife.......please"
