Today's environment is much harsher, because of the varied contaminants in the atmosphere that are the result of dirty factories and older, polluting vehicles, millions of which are still on the road all over the world. Even if those polluters are halfway around the world from where you live, we now know that the pollution they generate can reach even remote parts of the planet, depending on atmospheric currents. Even without those pollutants, insects, asphalt and tar residue and other road grime can lodge onto the glass surface when you drive, obstructing your view of the road. As many of us will have experienced, using plain water in our windscreen spray reservoir just creates streaks in the windshield, which only serves to hamper visibility more.
Some windscreen spray products are formulated to include de-icers and antifreeze compounds.
The compounds help protect the windshield washer components such as the reservoir, pump, tubing and nozzles from freezing in icy weather of up to minus 40 degrees F. Having a working windshield spray system is very important when grit, salt and icy slush start forming on your windshield. In climates that don't experience snow, all-weather formulas have compounds that also take into account the tar, tree sap and bird droppings that are more prevalent in sunny weather. These windscreen spray products also ensure that your car's glass is streak- and haze-free, and devoid of road film, something that plain water does not always achieve.
When selecting which windscreen spray formula to use, take a look at the label to make sure that it is harmless to auto paint, chrome and rubber parts. Overly strong formulas may stain or discolour your car's paint and chrome surfaces, or they can affect the rubber, making it brittle and prone to cracks. A good alternative to consider nowadays is to use green products that are biodegradable. Automobiles are unfortunately full of components and chemicals that cause more harm than good. You can do your part by using windscreen spray formulas that are plant-based and use food-grade ingredients. The resulting chemical is non-toxic, biodegradable, and environmentally-safe. There are all-season formulas available that work even in temperatures of -25F.
Remember to maintain you windscreen spray system by occasionally cleaning out your reservoir and using a pin to remove the scale that may have built up in the inner walls of the nozzle. Having a windscreen spray system in proper working order makes the driving experience safer and hassle-free.
