Ls1transam Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Adams needs to come out with the windshield washer fluid. That way we wouldn't have to worry about it stripping hour glass sealant or any of our protection that we have on the paint. And that is my random thought of the day.

Mariner Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Holy. Crap. I was just looking at my extra bottle of windshield washer fluid this morning and thought the same thing!!! I don't know why I'm so excited, but dang that's so cool that you thought the exact same thing and posted about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripesace Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Very cost prohibitive to ship and very saturated market. Honestly though, I can't tell you the last time I've grabbed my windshield washer fluid. A well cared for windshield should rarely need it. jessewsmith, pirahnah3 and Beemer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 My car is almost 7 years old with 70k miles and I bet I haven't used my wiper fluid more than twice. Now - on the family truckster it's a different story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadillaChick Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I use the 303 Tablets they could always develop something similar with a tablet that you add to a gallon of water. ocdrifter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ls1transam Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 I use washer fluid a lot. Both my cars sit outside, I'm sure it would sell good. Doesn't matter how well you care for a windshield. It's still going to get dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Yeah for people with cars that sit outside it would be beneficial I would think. During pollen season I use a lot. And I doubt shipping cost would make a difference. The thicker gallons like CWS and HGG are no lightweights. If adams were to come out with it though, it would have to be cheap because the gas station on sale jugs are just so easy to grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Yes, but, unless it gets dirty WHILE you're driving it's always best to clean it with a towel and glass cleaner. A lot of people use the washers because they are too lazy to clean the windshield properly BEFORE they hit the road. Captain Slow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chops1sc Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The cost thing always comes up but they sell gallons all the time. Someone willing to pay for a better option wouldn't mind the extra cost. HOWEVER, it's probably not cost effective for Adam's to try to produce something that he's not going to make much on. A concentrate maybe, but he has already said he can't control the water we use so it's harder to back the product 110%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariner Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Wow, some of you folks need to drive in the snow belt during the winter time...you'll find a new found respect...err PASSION for windshield washers. Valid point. While growing up in Maine, I can personally attest to the miserable experience of riding behind a tractor trailer after a recent snow storm lol.

TheWolf Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Here's a response from last year: Really not a market we've got much interest in playing in as its more a commodity. A trip down the auto supply aisle at any store will show you the "Premium" gallons around $5 and the cheap ones under $2. Even looking around online its a space occupied by a ton of products that get the job done and at a price I doubt we could even manufacture and package something to compete. Thats not to say I haven't tested a concentrate product, but wiper fluid is one of those things that works or doesn't. Its hard to create a premium solution and we're not much in the business of creating 'so so' products just to have a presence in the category. If we can ever come up with a solution that justifies a spot in the line b/c it does something better than the existing options we will, but so far not really a priority. On a personal note - wiper fluid is one of those thing that I just pick up something reasonably priced and offers the right level of freeze protection for my climate. I've never noticed a dramatic performance benefit from one product vs. another.

I live where we get lake effect snow (so, yes, absolutely snow belt) and I haven't purchased windshield washer fluid in years. i just keep a nice coat of glass sealant on the cars. Heck, I barely need to use my wipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
