Any of you guys have any secrets formulas for making non freezing windshield washing fluid using summertime fluid that will freeze?

Just add antifreeze or what?
 
cheap airplane shot of vodka mixed in works for me...Granted it never gets really cold here.
 
You put antifreeze in with your washer fluid, you won't be able to see where you're going the first time you spray the windshield with it...

Most auto store places and even Walmart sell stuff rated for below freezing temps, get some of that and put it in.
 
Hard to get

The winter formula is sometimes hard to get here in atlanta.
 
rubbing alcohol works too.

thats it.
Around here they sell -20 stuff but it freezes at about +10....I buy the -30 stuff (green here) and I've never had it freeze, but it rarely gets colder than -10.
 
Methanol!...at the gas & electric company where my dad worked,they would buy 55 gallon drums of it to use as washer fliud (diluted with water) and also used it in gas tanks for dry-gas to remove water from the fuel...

Some washer fluid I have bought that said it was rated for -20 was frozen solid at 22 degrees last winter-it was the orange stuff,I wont buy that crap again--the 99 cent stuff at a drugstore never froze on me !!..
 
Look for the Rain Ex pink winshield washer fluid.

It's the winter version that doesn't freeze and it works great to keep your windshield smoother, so less wiping needed from the windshield wipers.
 
Can't say I ever remember it freezing. Then again, when its that cold it doesn't seem to do much good anyway.Just makes the ice on the windshield blue...:dunno:
 
You warm climate guys are funnay!!!!! :rotfl:

Up here, we have windshield washer fluid that still works at -40'C!!!!!

Sounds like I could make a killing if I could find a way to get a truckload down your way. Whodathunkit that WWF was the new moonshine???????:rotfl: :rotfl:
