Prestone PSCW0021A Summer Screenwash 5L

Product Information

Prestone Summer Screen Wash guarantees maximum visibility out of the front and rear windows, so you can drive safe no matter what the British summer throws your way. Lift the bonnet and locate the screen wash reservoir cap; it’s typically blue with a windscreen icon on the top. Flip open the cap, hold the lid out of the way, and begin pouring. As well as removing deposits and dirt fast, Prestone Extreme Performance Screen Wash also dries clear thanks to our new and improved streak-free formula. Whatever the road throws your way, you can rely on Prestone Screen Wash to keep things clear. Our screen wash melts ice down to -18°C and is powerful enough to remove even the most stubborn deposits – including bird droppings and dead insects – for complete confidence in all conditions. How do I replace Prestone Screen Wash? Screen wash is available in a variety of colours including blue, yellow, green, and pink. It’s made from a mix of water, antifreeze (usually alcohol) and cleaning agents, which are added to help remove dirt and ensure a streak-free finish. How do I use Prestone Screen Wash?

Developed to the same high performance standards you’ve come to expect from Prestone, Eco Refill Winter Screen Wash can also help you to reduce plastic waste. Thanks to its concentrated formula, just one small bottle of 500ml Prestone Eco Refill makes 5 litres of winter-ready screen wash – that’s a whole standard-sized bottle of screen wash for a fraction of the plastic. Decades of car maintenance know-how have gone into Prestone Extreme Performance Screen Wash, so you can be assured of outstanding performance with every spray. And with year-round cleaning guaranteed, you can use the same screen wash through all four seasons – for maximum cleaning performance and convenience. Developed specifically for warm weather driving, the wash’s powerful cleaning formula cuts through dirt, deposits, and streaks, giving you total confidence out on the road.

Screen wash reservoir caps are almost always blue, which should make it easy to find under the bonnet. Depending on the size of the bottle, we’d recommend using a funnel to add the screen wash. If you don’t have one to hand, turning larger bottles on their side can help with pouring. In summer this makes it seem good value compared to some ready-mix rivals, but the advantage disappears in winter. Plus, summer means the arrival of a sneaky danger — sun dazzle. Dazzle occurs when the sun’s rays shine on dirt and grime on a car’s windscreen, limiting visibility for the driver. If you keep your windscreen free of dirt and smears, then you’ll get better visibility and won’t have any nasty sun related surprises. Myth 2: Don’t use screen wash –water does the same thing It certainly seems to make financial sense if you do. There are usually two types on offer; ready mix or the concentrate. We tried both, but the results were almost identical so we’ve concentrated on the concentrate.

However, there was some good news. As we didn’t need the full -20C protection we economised and tried a few different concentrations to see how they fared in the freezer. A mix of 50/50 with water was still squirting after 12 hours at -18C, so it would seem Halfords is understating its performance.The instructions recommend it is used at the ‘optimum clean’ dilution ratio of 1:9, which stops freezing down to a claimed -3 oC. Using Prestone Screen Wash is easy. Simply add enough screen wash to the reservoir so it meets the ‘max’ line, and then use your car’s wiper function (normally an arm switch on the steering wheel) to apply it to the front and rear windows. Removing even the toughest deposits in a fraction of the time of standard screen washes, you’ll use less and save more when filling your car with Prestone Extreme Performance Screen Wash. The cleaning ability was adequate if not spectacular, clearing the oil but leaving a remnant of our glue. This means that the Tesco wash is good value, but you’ll need to use more of it to clean away screen grime and refill the reservoir more often. Prestone Max Visibility Screen Wash
