I saw some of this stuff in morrison 1 5 litre bottle for £2.50 with a buy
one get one free deal, is this stuff any good ?

I've always bought concentrate and mixed it up. At £2.50 for 10 litres of
screenwash seems good ?

Or is this stuff selling cheap for a reason ?

Half decent stuff mixes about 25% to water, so you probably work out a touch
cheaper with it. TBH I mix mine stronger as it tends to freeze on the screen
when you first set off.

Its a toss up between the ice coming off and the paint so to paraphrase some
actor - Do you feel lucky punk :-)

(remember its anti-freeze which usually has a warning about wash it off
immediately spilled on paintwork)

also good to point out that washing up liquid contains salt - so car shampoo
is better

Antifreeze or windscreen washer fluid?

Fucking hell. Anti freeze is generally based on glycols. Screenwash is
usually just detergent and alcohols. It doesn't eat paint. And you always
need some form of screenwash in your water to stop algae growing.
