Screenwash on fully detailed car

    Need to pick some up for the A6 as warning light on.
    Was thinking of concentrated “Prestone Windshield Screen Washer” but can’t for the life of me find the 5L one anywhere in Ireland.

    See slims have the Autoglm super strength:
    https://www.slimsdetailing.co.uk/auto-glym-super-strength-screen-wash-5-litre.html#product_tabs_description

    Bought good bit of stuff from them before and have few things in the cart so was considering getting this in same order.

    Going to be doing full detail on car in next few weeks, sealing with c2v3.

    Any thoughts on these products effect on c2v3 and their general windscreen cleaning effectiveness?
    Car has headlight washers so tend to get good bit of it spraying onto bonnet.

    I've been using angelwax clarity. Been using it the last 12 months or so and doesn't seem to have any effect on the protection that's on the car. Leaves the windscreen with a hydrophobic layer

    Have a bottle of Gtechniq G5 I’m going to apply to windows so not sure I really need any hydraphobic screenwash, cheers though.

    Also, little wary of putting products like that in car...read some stories of them causing issues with clogging and/or sensor issues..think it may have been some rainx product. that’s based on nothing other than reading a few online threads so I may be completely daft to be so paranoid!

    I have carbon collective platinum glass on my windscreen and the screen wash doesn't seem to have any effect on its performance. I thought the quality of the water might cause issues with clogging jets etc but never had this happen
