When the thermometer rises, the demand for windshield washer fluids begins to decrease. Many believe that since there is no risk of liquid turning into ice, there is no need to spend money on special compounds. However, the expert of the oldest and most authoritative automotive publication – the magazine “Behind the Wheel”, Mikhail Kolodochkin explained what such a decision could lead to.
In fact, plain water is not very good at removing insect stains on glass. And this means that the desired effect is simply not achieved. Glass cannot be cleaned properly. This is the first drawback of this method.
However, many find a simple solution to the problem. Various washing liquids are added to the water. The effect of such a mixture is more tangible. But here arises another problem. Water with detergent starts to foam profusely. And the engine in the tank may simply not cope with such a load. In addition, products such as dishwashing detergents can leave a film on the glass.
But the greatest danger of using water, according to the expert, lies in impurities. Tap water is never completely clean. It contains salts and impurities that can clog the nozzles.
What liquids, in addition to specialized ones, can be used to clean glass in the summer, the expert analyzed in detail in his article.
