About this deal

Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. In summer, it makes up to 10 litres and give protection against freezing down to -2C. If you need to go any colder it’ll need to be used 1:1 or even neat. The instructions say this will remain fluid down to -10C, so unsurprisingly it was solid after a few hours in our freezer compartment. On average, a driver will throw away four plastic screen wash bottles every year, this amounts to 100 million in the United Kingdom alone. This plastic waste is entirely unnecessary due to our windscreen wash tabs. Seasonal versatility: adapt seamlessly to changing seasons. dilute the concentrate during spring and summer to create up to a staggering 100 liters of screenwash, ensuring you're well-equipped year-round.

Below is a video we posted on our YouTube channel that shows us testing one of the screen washes. As you can see, it takes less than a minute to top up the screen wash and the bottle on this particular screen wash had an “easy-pour” spout that made pouring in the formula far easier and less messy. Developed to the same high performance standards you’ve come to expect from prestone, eco refill winter screen wash can also help you to reduce plastic waste. thanks to its concentrated formula, just one small bottle of 500ml prestone eco refill makes 5 litres of winter-ready screen wash – that’s a whole standard-sized bottle of screen wash for a fraction of the plasticAs we knew our freezer was measured at 18C, we mixed at a ratio of 1.5:1 which should have given us protection down to 19.5C. However, although there was some liquid evident in the syringe it was too frozen to squirt until it had been out of the freezer for a few minutes. Tesco Concentrated Screen Wash (& Tesco Ready To Use)

multifunctional - the concentrated screenwash tablet can not only be used to clean car glass, but also used in household items, furniture, etc. in daily life. of course, it can also be used to clean the car body, which is not only strong in decontamination, but also does not damage the car. The Halfords wash gave the best cleaning performance and excellent freeze resistance at a reasonable price so takes the win here, but we’d recommend buying the ready mix rather than the concentrate as – bizarrely – it’s better value.

What is it?

Free Delivery is not available for Over-Sized parcels, such as Exhausts, Radiators & Headlamps - For details on these items please see the 'Oversized Items' section below. At a summer mix rate of 4:1 the Halfords wash cleared both the glue and the oil after a few wipes, giving the best cleaning performance in the test. Autoglym Ultimate Screenwash 500ml The results make it difficult to believe these tablets are much more than just dye, and to compound our frustration the liquid also seemed to stain our containers and give our hands a blue tinge. Verdict

However, there was some good news. As we didn’t need the full -20C protection we economised and tried a few different concentrations to see how they fared in the freezer. A mix of 50/50 with water was still squirting after 12 hours at -18C, so it would seem Halfords is understating its performance. The company has opted to make the products look different by colour (and smell) coding them according to the temperature protection level. The -20C liquid we selected is green and ‘Citrus’ flavour. There’s no cheaper way we could find of making screenwash than this, except maybe putting a squirt of Fairy Liquid in the reservoir. But as with most things, you get what you pay for and the tablets seemed to do little more than colour the water . As you might expect from the well-known and respected brand like Autoglym, the screenwash did well in the cleaning tests – but it’s expensive to use at winter temperatures.The Halfords -10 Concentrate Screenwash has a warm berry fragrance and keeps your windscreen free from bugs, dirt and road grime. The cleaning ability was adequate if not spectacular, clearing the oil but leaving a remnant of our glue. This means that the Tesco wash is good value, but you’ll need to use more of it to clean away screen grime and refill the reservoir more often. Prestone Max Visibility Screen Wash For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. We now put Bitrex in our screenwash and antifreeze products, to help protect your family. Officially the world's most bitter substance, just a tiny amount of Bitrex makes our products extremely unpalatable - and therefore safer - by helping prevent your children and pets from accidentally swallowing something they shouldn't." Can I just use water? It is best to use a screenwash as these have been specially formulated to effectively clear your windscreen. Water will not contain the cleaning agents that screenwash has, so may not be able to remove tough dirt such as tree sap. Water also has a freezing point of 0ºC. 2. Does it matter what Screenwash you use?
