Natural? Windshield Wiper Fluid
So this hasn't happened yet, but someday my car window washing fluid will run out
I use vinegar for a lot of indoor cleaning-- and it's good for windows
but will it somehow damage my car if I pour a gallon in where the usual cleaning fluid goes?
Logic would lead me to believe it would be just fine-- the vinegar is already in a plastic jug and it doesn't harm glass.
anybody do this themselves or hear about it somewhere?
EDIT:
Some googling turned up a recipe
-Distilled Water
-Isopropyl Alcohol (doesn't freeze till -20 F)
-DAWN
OPTION: RainX additive: $8/10oz (I have seen this for ~$5)
Mix: 1 gallon water, 8oz Alcohol, 2oz soap (+/- 2oz RainX).
Benefit? Normal fluids use Methanoyl = poison
