Is Focus part of the Woolworth's group? I got some Car-Plan screen wash at woolies the other day for £2.99 for 5 litres (concentrate) -Excellent value 'cos I reckon it is the best screenwash - look for it when you get your anti-freeze

I notice a good con going on at the moment.

I see you can buy screen wash that you no longer have to dilute! Fantastic! The best con since they removed the filler from washing powder and charged us extra to buy it.

Marketing boys, doncha just love 'em!

Wouldn't such a product have an advantage, in that you could carry some in your car against a runout. Then you could refill without having to find or carry water.

I know that's pretty thin, but that kind of perceived advantage might well be enough to make punters go for it.

Although chances are nobody will notice til they get home, like when you buy catfood and it always turns out to be the diet version or something.

Cheaper Antifreeze - Blue {P}
Well I tend to buy AutoGlymn screenwash which comes in a small 1 litre bottle that is totally re-sealable, when it ran out I just filled it with water and little bit of screenwash from anther bottle and kept it in the boot, it worked very well when I ran out of fluid mid-journey. Just pulled in, filled up and could then see again :-)
