Screen Wash
Screen Wash
What screen wash do you guys use? Mines about to run out so just seeing if anyone uses anything other than the BMW screen wash?
Have heard good things about the Halfords berry screen wash and the Autoglym ultimate, anyone use any of these?

I now use Triple QX from ECP via their regular discount offers.
Does your car have the Intensive Wash system, if so use the specific Intensive BMW fluid.

Not sure, I don`t recall reading that in the handbook ?Metrics wrote:Is this to avoid gumming up issues?jamesa wrote: Does your car have the Intensive Wash system, if so use the BMW fluid.
It is used `neat` and cleans extremely well, removes those `white` smears that accumulate from normal screen washing.
When I asked for it in the dealer, the `senior` parts gentleman could not recall selling any before ! I took several bottles at a greatly reduced price Car has gone but I still use it ... on glass / screens around the house

Definitely use BMW screen wash. It stops the algae and dirt getting stuck inside the washer bottle as well as lubricating the system and preventing gumming up. No.36 has a severe case of stuck debris in the bottle and naturally from that the system. I need to now take the bottle out and put it in the dishwasher to get it clean, its that bad!
