How to choose antifreeze for your car: 3 secrets of a successful purchase
In winter, a special liquid helps keep the car windshield clean.
The range of so-called “antifreezes” is extremely wide, but not all products are of high quality.
There are three main secrets that help when choosing a winter windshield washer for your car.
You should start with the container. The canister should be transparent, and its contents should have no sediment at the bottom.
If the product was manufactured last year, it is better to look for something more recent. Such "antifreeze" may have lost some of its properties.
When shaken, foam should appear on the surface. This means that the liquid contains surfactants.
A quality windshield washer fluid should not be cloudy.
Next, you need to pay attention to the cost. Many want to save money, but it is important to understand that quality products will not cost 100 rubles. The standard price starts from 200 and reaches 500 rubles for five liters.
And the last nuance is the composition. The basis is always ethyl or isopropyl alcohol.
The higher the percentage of content, the more severe the frost, the desired effect is maintained.
If the temperature in the region rarely drops below -23°C, then a 36% concentration is sufficient.
For reference
Windscreen washer fluid is a liquid designed to remove dirt from a car's windshield.
