How to make windshield washer fluid?

I believe everyone is familiar with glass water, which is the water often used to clean car windshields. For example, when you find dust on the car windshield, just turn on the switch gently and the glass water will clean it automatically. Therefore, glass water is a product that is consumed more in the car. If you have to buy glass water frequently, the cost is relatively high, so you can make glass water yourself. The specific method is as follows.

First, the steps to make your own glass water:

Prepare the materials:

1. A bottle of purified water, don't fill it too full to prevent it from overflowing. You can also use boiled water instead.

2. A small bottle of alcohol. If you don't have it, you can use strong liquor instead and increase the proportion. Alcohol works well as an organic solvent. It is very effective in removing shellac and has an antifreeze effect.

3. About one milliliter of detergent is mainly used to remove sand and soil, because the foam of detergent can quickly remove soil. Do not use washing powder instead. Washing powder water will have some sediment, which will corrode the rubber tube over time and block the water spray outlet, and seriously damage the motor.

First, pour about three bottle caps of alcohol into the bottle, and increase the amount of white wine. Then pour in one cap of detergent, put the lid on and shake it evenly. Finally, leave it for ten minutes before use.

Important Tips:

In winter, you need to use 40-50% alcohol and 50-60% water. The freezing point can reach -25℃ without freezing, which basically meets the needs of winter.

Second, how to add windshield washer fluid yourself?

1. First open the front hood. The car hood switch is usually under the dashboard in front of the driver's seat. Just gently pull the hood to open it.

2. After opening the hood, find the location of the spray bottle. Usually the car's spray bottle is on the right side of the engine compartment. There is usually an indicator light-like symbol on the lid of a watering can, and this symbol is the same on cars produced all over the world.

3. Find a spray bottle, open the lid and add windshield washer fluid. Generally, vehicles require about 4L of windshield washer fluid. There is a soft ruler in the bottle. You don't need to add more when it reaches the scale line.

When it comes to windshield washer fluid, everyone knows that it is a consumable item for cars. After using it for a long time, you will need to add more. Recently a friend asked me how to make your own windshield washer fluid in winter? Let’s take a look at it together below, and hope it will be helpful to everyone.

The so-called glass water is the common name for car windshield cleaning fluid. It is a consumable part in automobile use. High-quality automobile windshield water is mainly composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors and a variety of surfactants. Car windshield water is commonly known as glass water.

Third, homemade glass water formula:

The recipe and dosage of homemade glass water: prepare a 2.5-liter Coke bottle (make sure to clean it), 2 liters of pure water, 250 ml of medical 95% alcohol (available at pharmacies), the ratio of water to alcohol is about 8:1, 1-2 Coke bottle caps of detergent (the detergent or dishwashing liquid must be liquid and of good quality). After fully dissolving, it can be used directly.

Analysis: The foam of detergent can quickly remove dirt; alcohol can accelerate the evaporation of water and make the glass clean quickly. After adding all the above, the bottle may not be full, so you can directly add about 1 liter of pure water, and the cleaning quality will not be a big problem.

Formula and dosage for windshield washer fluid in winter: The above formula changes the ratio of water to alcohol to 8:2. The freezing point of the prepared windshield washer fluid is basically around -10℃, which can meet the needs of early winter. If the ratio reaches 6:4, the freezing point can reach -25℃ without freezing, which basically meets the needs in winter.

Special reminder: Detergent cannot be replaced by washing powder, as it may cause precipitation; the alcohol content cannot be too high, otherwise it will affect the aging of plastic parts. The formula can be practiced by yourself during actual application in order to achieve the best cleaning effect.
