Macro 2for1 offer, Fairline screen wash, anygood?
17. Mar 2010 at 02:39

its 2.99 for 5litres, plus a free one obviously so 10litres aint bad for £3.00. But is it any good? I dont want to be stuck with 20litres of crap even if it is only £6.

Fairly sure i've used it before without issue, cant remember, but not through the really bad weather, although hopefully we're through the worst of the cold by now.

Mar 2010 at 23:58 Bought 6 or 8 gallons of the latest offer stuff a month or so ago as my stock levels had dropped. even when it was as cold as a cold thing, as long as you were sensible in the dilution percentages, no probs with the suds clearing the ice and crud....

Reply #6 - 21. Mar 2010 at 20:02 I would steer clear of carplan....and if the macro stuff is the same, that to. I used to swear by it but, it sort of grows and goes jelly like which blocks the pump! Plus you need quite a strong mix to get good freezing protection.

Reply #8 - 21. Mar 2010 at 20:46 will it be in there long enough to go off though? gm stuff leaves chalky residue.

At the rate my headlight washers get through the stuff, I doubt it. Grin

I wonder if it's a reaction to mixing with hard water? In the same way that soap turns into scum?

Ought to try it with the "filtered through chalk" water here. It doesn't get much harder. Grin
