Yeah, get a used windshield installed and everything for like 1-200, I've done this at least once and even thou it's used I could never tell. ... View related article.
I always use a clean shop rag or a strong paper towel soaked in isopropyl rubbing alcohol, wipe that wiper down repeatedly and keep turning the cloth, when it stops turning your wipe black it is clean (oh boy this really restores it GOOD). ... View related article.
Here's how I used to do it, back in the days when Big Lots had 16oz bottles of 70% Isopropyl for a dollar... Not sure if it's still profitable, the cost of the alcohol is the worst part, by the time it gets to $2 a bottle we're talking 50 cents just in this for mix.
Then it takes TIME, you know, time is not free, so the cost has to be at least 1/3 of what I'd pay at a store or I can just pick it up already made and save myself the hassle.
So then you need a BIG bottle of dish wash detergent, like Dawn but that's too expensive so get the cheapest brand you can find, Big Lots is good for this also thou the best I found was at Dollar General. You need to calculate the cents per ounce, a good price is 4 cents per ounce or lower, so if it's a 24 ounce bottle it should cost no more than 96 cents. Yes, cheapest soap, it will still work way better than you'd think.
Then you need some 1 gallon jugs, save your milk containers and anything else that fits 1 gallon, you want to make this stuff 4-6 or more gallons at a time or it's not profitable.
Then, teh formulae: 1 OZ of dish washing detergent 1/3 of a bottle of 70% isopropyl OR 1/4 bottle 90% The rest water. Yes, eyeballing is ok but watch it with the soap!
Works great, not sure how freeze resistant but it's way better than store bought washer fluid. Have I used it? LOL I been making it like that for 4 years now. ... View related article.
