Prestone PSCW0029A Winter Screenwash, 5 Litre

Product Information

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 plastic. Cars rely on two different antifreeze products — antifreeze in screen wash and coolant/antifreeze. Both serve different purposes, but some people get the two muddled up, or think they’re the same thing. As well as removing deposits and dirt fast, Prestone Extreme Performance Screen Wash also dries clear thanks to our new and improved streak-free formula. We tried seven different types, testing them for freeze resistance in winter conditions and cleaning ability at weaker summer concentrations. Day to day, you’ll know that your windscreen is being kept free from dirt, which will improve your visibility and protect it from the damage that deposits can do. Removing tough, dried-on dirt with ease, it’s the ideal year-round screen wash – ensuring maximum, all-round visibility from season to season.

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 Screen wash is available in a variety of colours including blue, yellow, green, and pink. It’s made from a mix of water, antifreeze (usually alcohol) and cleaning agents, which are added to help remove dirt and ensure a streak-free finish. How do I use Prestone Screen Wash? Do you have a question about Prestone Screen Wash? Maybe you’re new to driving and want to know more about how screen wash works and how often you should use it? It’s a legal requirement– that’s right, you could receive a fixed penalty notice if the police pull you over and discover you have no screen wash, especially when there’s reason to believe that reduced visibility has caused you to drive dangerously.Tested both in the lab and on the road, our flagship screen wash offers guaranteed visibility in all driving conditions – bringing confidence and clarity to every journey. It will dramatically reduce sun dazzle – sun dazzle is dangerous and can easily cause accidents any time of the year. Making sure the washer reservoir is kept topped up will ensure you can keep the windscreen free from smears and streaks which cause dazzle. 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.

This depends on your average mileage, driving conditions and the time of year. You may need to replace screen wash every week if you cover a lot of miles, particularly in the winter. In summer, you’ll generally use less screen wash, though it will be needed to remove streaks and dust from the windscreen to prevent dangerous sun dazzle.We tried it at the suggested level for protection down to -22C and it was fine and fluid after several hours in the freezer, but at that mix ratio it would make little more than half a litre. In fact, the instructions only suggest diluting it by up to a factor of 3:1, which means one bottle would only make a litre of fluid. Since the average washer reservoir is three to four litres, that’s going to be expensive. To help, we’ve put together a list of frequently asked questions that should fill you in on all things screen wash. Take a look below. What is Screen Wash?

If you’re tempted to squirt a few drops of washing up liquid into your car’s screen wash reservoir, we wouldn’t recommend doing so. While household cleaners are great for cleaning up dirt and grime around the home, they’re not fit for use on cars, and contain harsh chemicals which can damage paintwork and other metallic surfaces. Not only that, but household cleaning products offer zero protection against freezing, leaving you without protection when the temperature drops. That means total clarity and 100% visibility, as well as zero chance for dangerous sun dazzle to interfere with your view of the road. Prestone has developed products to keep you driving all year round. This unique Screen Wash works to achieve max visibility to ensure safer driving throughout Autumn and Winter. We understand that a lot of drivers like to save on the cost of motoring, and one such cost-cutting measure is to ditch screen wash in favour of plain old water. Sadly, water doesn’t deliver anywhere near the performance of high-quality screen wash, for two simple reasons. Top up the screen wash – Pour screen wash directly into the reservoir without removing the filter that sits inside the filler tube. You can use a funnel if needed to avoid spillages. Continue pouring until you start to see fluid coming up the transparent tube; fill to the ‘max’ line and replace the cap.Unless your classic is very old, you’ll need to make sure there is some fluid available when you press the button to wash the windscreen. In winter it will help get rid of road grime and salt, in summer it helps clear fly splats, dust and diesel film. 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 Whatever the road throws your way, you can rely on Prestone Screen Wash to keep things clear. Our screen wash melts ice down to -18°C and is powerful enough to remove even the most stubborn deposits – including bird droppings and dead insects – for complete confidence in all conditions.
