Halfords Advanced Ready Mixed Screen Wash

Overall Auto Express rating

3.0

Like its stablemate, this contains nasty-tasting Bitrex to stop children accidentally drinking it. But the price is a bitter pill to swallow – especially at its summer concentration. It did well in the freezer, staving off ice as well as our winner, and while the oil caused it problems, this left just spots of the bugs. Not quite enough to overcome the price.
