That won't help if the lines freeze up.

well i once saw a purpose made grille cover made from leather which had 2 small flaps you can open.
i saw an old landy with its from grille covered 2 days ago.

i might try a small bottle of vodka in my water squiters

Bit of brake cleaner, screan wash and water works alright, depends what brake cleaner it its the stuff from uni part worked its mainly just alcohol.

Or get some methalated spirit in there thats just denature alchol. All works the same cheaper than vodka/vodkat stuff.

Or a ready mixed solution thats certified and fit for purpose,as in any screen wash from any motorfactor,

Or that as well but some people like to experiment.

My screen wash still froze when id mixed it more than it said too so i just pourd in some brake cleaner since it was to hand and works for so many other things and its not froze since cleans window good too.

Or screenwash as so many people have said. It's made for it!

yes,use brake cleaner( not ),or use this from halfords,does what it says on the tin,i personally would not put brake cleaner anywhere near my windscreen and/or washer jet system,but thats just me

( note,other motor factors are available )

its difficult to get to halfords, or other motor facotrs when i work 14hours a day.

vodka i have at home so im after something that will see me through as i have 2 days off between now and xmas, and those will be sent in bed not shopping.

Just a quick overview of brake cleaner,although this application is aerosol delivered,you get the idea,take a read and then decide if you want this stuff squirting on your paint and windscreen.

im smart enough to take things on this place with a pinch of salt, im just after something that most house holds will have to use whilst its ubber cold and for the next 3-4weeks, when i next have a couple of days off to sort it out properly.

All mixed in a small amount with water and screan wash works a treet and shouldent do any harm. And obviously most of that is in varry small quantitys for the most part its alcohol be it methanol,isoporinol so on. Dont know why every one gets scared of using things just because it dosent say thats its main use on the bottel/tin.

Obviously you should use screen wash but if you have rubbish stuff and happend to have something else to hand to do the job whats the problem

[the.stroker]

Each to their own i suppose,however after forking out for a very expensive fresh paint job on my cooper im picky as to what ends up on it.

Back on topic , there are several solutions to the OP s question.
