atm i'm using some Shell stuff.
Monaco 53/468
I use Motrio, quite good stuff
lol, well thats why im asking. is that how it works with oil,tyres,wax etc.....
I have both these screen washes from last time and they are excellent - and only 89p a bottle! No anti-freeze properties but seem to clean well. The bottles have that excellent dispenser in them which makes getting the right quantity extremely easy. Worth getting a few for stock IMHO.
Back on sale again from 9th March
Also have loads of other car stuff, including a 'nano windscreen solution kit' for £5 but the description is vague, so I am guessing its a glass sealant kit???
Found where i heard of it from!

I've always used cheapy stuff from supermarkets etc but this thread has got me thinking...
If it's too harsh then will it not affect wax/polish on nearby paintwork?
Fairy liquid does not stay mixed with the water for long, it will sink to the bottom and may clog the pipes or jets up

looks like this is a good bet:
Two wins on the trot for this German star, which continues to amaze. The small 250ml pack makes 25 litres, but it's packed with everything a screenwash needs. It left no trace of our test bugs and only the faintest smear of oil. A top performance from a product that's superb value too." Auto EXPRESS Product Honours - 7th May 2008

Screenwash is just water, isopropanol and dye. I make my own at work.
As for damaging paintwork, the concentration of solvent is very low and isopropanol doesn't damage paint.
With the expensive gear, you're just paying for the name and a fancy smell.
EDIT: I clean my windscreen with acetone. Leaves no trace of anything. (Just don't let it get on the rubbers for too long, unless you want your windscreen to fall out)

Acetone can be bought from DIY stores, I think. (I work in solvent recycling, so I don't have to buy it!)
Just put a bit on a clean rag and wipe away. It evaporates really easily, so you have to be quick. And don't spark up nearby, or you'll end up looking like Wile E Coyote when he tried to blow out the fuse on TNT.
