Default Windshield Washer Fluid

Has anyone found any windshield fluid to be superior to others, specifically for summertime and those highway insect splats?
Every fluid I've tried has been pretty much useless.
The only thing that seems to removes bugs splats is elbow grease and a squeegee. On some road trips though (when you hit those swarms), I can't always wait until the next gas stop to clean off the buildup.

The key for me is first deep cleaning the glass with a product like the Glass Science Glass Scrub. It removes contaminants stuck in the micro-ridges of the clear coat and bonded to the glass. Next apply a layer of protection like the Glass Science Rain Clear. This will help sheet rain water and repel road grime. I also try to clean my blades at least once a month with the 303 Wiper Treatment.

After that use P21S Windshield Wash Booster in my normal washing solution for a better cleaning. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I'm using the 1Z one right now. It works fairly well considering how much you dilute it. The smell is pretty good too iirc but you will only smell it when you mix it lol. Just make sure you empty your tank before adding or else you may have some streaking issues. However, if you don't, no worries as the streaks dry instantly anyway

Use Distilled Water if you get this btw

Also you can use ONR on it to clay the glass and use it in your washer fluid container.
