Windshield Washer Fluid

[jaymac]

steviej--thanks for the input on the stiff accelerator pedal on my 02 ES300. Do you or anyone else have any strong opinions on which type of washer fluid to use? In other cars(less expensive-read beaters) I have used the Prestone De-icer stuff as opposed to the alcohol based fluids. I have to admit to some concern about damaging the finish with the glycol in the De-icer formulation.

I buy the cheapest I find. It is usually blue and I get it at the supermarket or Costco. If get it at Costco, I usually by a case of 6 cause it is even cheaper that way.

I tried the Rain-X stuff, but my blades started leaving rubber smudges. This also happened when I used the actual Rain-X liquid directly on the glass.

From now on, I save the rain-x for my boat (it doesn't have wipers).

I have heard awesome things about PIAA wipers. Pricey but supposedly the best and they last for a year or more.

The dealer replaces the blades on the 15k services.
