It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Hire me and I could stand on your hood facing you (back to the wind) and .... never mind.

Thats what I think I am going to do...no sense wasting the 3-4 dollar stuff if it does the same as the 99 cent stuff.

Does the alky and water dilute the ammonia pretty well? I had the crazy idea of adding some ammonia to my tank once. Couldnt see a thing after i used it...not b/c it smeared, but because I teared up so bad from the ammonia I had to roll down my windows and hang my head out.

You gotta be a man to use the stuff! It'll take the hair off a dog but it works REAL good.

If you can find the stuff called "Bug off" I think you'll be happy. I use the cheap stuff and add the RainX additive to it. I haven't found any benefit to treating the windshield. The last time I bought blades I went with the single point type and they're much better than the stock type.

One thing that I really like is when you get one of those BIG yellow juicy bugs that hits the winshield...you know the 4 oz kind

I immediately pull over and toss some tomatoes and peppers on there with it and break out the tortilla chips..... Mmmmmmmmm Good Salsa!

So what kind cleans the bugs off and cleans the dust off without streaks?
I am not expecting my wipers and a washer fluid to clean off dried bugs but when something big hits, it would be nice to clear it, not smear it and have to use a lot of the washer fluid just to get it looking ok.

Changed out the wiper blades a few times as well.

I guess I could try driving in reverse.
Make it stronger, Buy a bottle of ammonia and add some to cheap stuff.

For the summer try home made window cleaner, ammonia, white vinegar and water.

Nick, you're supposed to be using this mix on the OUTSIDE not the inside!
