What do you put inside your wiper reservoir /tank ?

[Contax]

Some told me plain water , some put those domestic household liquid window cleaner ,some - diluted mama lemon...

 

What's yours ?Just curious.

Select shampoo specially meant for windscreen.

 

If mama lemon is used, it may wear off your wax if reside on paintwork of car.

Mine is just plain water If you were to put some solution into your wiper reservior, it has better to be windscreen solutions other than mama lemon or other dish washing detergents cos i believe that it will spoil the paintwork of your ride under long term when you turn on the nozzle to spray it

Plain water shld be good enough.

When doing my 40k servicing, saw the mechnic add in 1 small bottle of liquid into the wiper reservoir ask him what is it for, he say is a liquid cleaner for the windscreen.

I did try the diluted mama lemon onto my previous ride because the windscreen always judder whenever I turn on the wiper.

Therefore everytime it judder , I 'll spray and it will become smooth 'for a few wipes' before it judder again.

I understand that wiper juddering is a pain in the xss cos i had it on my previous rides before Basically try out everything i.e Mama lemon, wind screen wax, windscreen wash to put in reservior and even to the extent of changing a pair of $60 ++ wipers In the end, i used Autoglym All Weather Windscreen Wash plus the Windscreen Polish then everything is

Bro, normally i jus pour about 5-6 caps using the cap cover and then fill it up with plain water to about half of those spray bottle (Standard size white color type) used for spraying plants Normally, i overdose one but so far so It has actually eliminated 99% of the wiper juddering for my current ride

Plain water only now. Wiper wash clot up my spray nossles, have to remove the whole wiper wash tank for cleaning.

huh ?got this kind of 'side effect' one arh ??

Liddat I better just put in plain water liao

[Limws1]

I guess is that wiper wash causes algae to grow inside the tank. No problem with that until you disturb the tank and loosen the algae. Then the algae pieces will make their way to the nossels when you use the wiper wash and get stuck there. Soon water will not come out anymore when you activate the wiper washer.

For wiper juddering , I went to autobac and bought a bottle of those 'oil film remover' which cost around <$10 from japan and just apply on windscreen and wipe away immediately.

 

After that , the wiper never judder anymore .

[Contax]

oic.

[Mzrmazda3]

That's great Last time, i went to Autobac when they are at Paya Lebar and also bought something similar but it never work for me Somemore i think it cost almost 20 over bucks & also Made in Japan Maybe different makes prefers different treatment

I use water with little bit mama lemon

[Ahbengdriver]

guys, the sound on yr windscreen when wiped is due to dirt, oil film or any form of dirt that got stuck. This can be removed if u use cheap cheap mamalemon and a sponge to wash yr windscreen. remember to rinse the mamalemon off after that. I do that each weekend when after I shampoo my car bcos the remaining wax from the shampoo [ i use wash n wax]on windscreen can cause the noise when the wiper moves across. After washing with MML and rinse off the wiper is quiet when it wipes.

Actually Klasse AIO also does the work.

 

For your wiper maintenace, I read somewhere that you can use the wiper wash to wipe the rubber blade when you clean it.
