Have been using the AC Delco concentrate. A couple of ml in the bottle, does not leave the milky residue and stops algae and calcium deposits from forming in the system and cleans streak free. A GM product but pretty good stuff.

+1 from me, easy to add known quantity. And works a treat.

Agreed.
I've been using Castrol windscreen concentrate for 20+ years, have never found anything better.

Default Re: Best Windscreen Washer Additive to Use

Many dishwashing liquids contain chlorine, ammonia or other bleaches that will remove polish and clear coats and damage your paint; stay with the specialty name brand windscreen washer fluid additives. I prefer Trico Vision which is ammonia free http://www.tricoproducts.com.au/Driv...s/MoreProducts

Windex has up to 28% ammonia although I am aware they now also have a special ammonia-free variety. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windex

A quick squeeze of Morning Fresh works great.
