What Screen Wash do you guys/gals buy for your MINI? Where do you get it? And what do you pay for it?

The BMW stuff, not sure what I pay for it but it is not expensive.

The VW stuff is very good, it is about £2.30 for a litre.

Cheers folks.

Was shying away from the Halfords stuff. Being a bit of a brand junkie I was looking cor Holts or Car Plan or something like that. But if Halfords stuff gets the heads-up, I guess that will do.

The service manager at Dunedin in Selkirk used to tell me he's seen horror stories of folk using the cheapo stuff, and when it gets cold it turns to a gel, and you end up having to have all your tubes cleaned out.:eek:

much to the annoyance of another major Oil company:

The best tested forcourt screen wash is Shell.

It is what I use;)

Even better if can get the stuff in their flimsy type package with the wee tap thing just like what you get on those drinks cartons.:cool:
