Low temp window washer fluid

Is there any reason not to go with low temperature window washer fluid all year long? I only make a trip to the snow a couple times a year but I don't want to have to switch out the antifreeze stuff with the normal stuff, because I'm lazy.

Laziness prevails, you should not have any problems at all. I've heard good things about Rain-X products.

All year long

This is what I use all year long and it don't get no where near as cold here as it does over there.



Rain-X® Premium De-Icer (-35oF) Windshield Washer Fluid
Formulated to combine Rain-X® micro-polymer glass treatment technology with specially formulated cleaning agents for a streak free shine. Plus treats the windshield with a water and soil repellent finish.
Removes light ice and frost. Formulated to prevent ice-up on your windshield and provides freeze protection to -35ºF. Cleans to a streak-free shine.

Available Size: 1 gal. Stock Number: RX68635 - Pictured

It works GREAT and I hardly ever need to use my windshield wipers when it is raining, unless it is just a torrential downpour.

Where the heck are you guys getting this stuff? I can't find the rainx stuff around here. Anywhere I can order it online?

BTW, California sucks, the greenies banned low temp washer fluid in alameda county. Now I have to go out of the county to get any kind of low temp cleaner.

What's wrong with the 88 cents from Wallys stuff? Or is that what you're considering low temp stuff? Cuz if that's low temp stuff that's the stuff everyone here in PA runs year round.

I get the rain-x de-icer from pepboys if you have one nearby. I think I've also seen it in Walmart too.
