Green washer fluid

[Ghoste]

All the brands I know of locally for windshield washer fluid are blue, is there a brand that is more like the oem green?

[ODZKing]

Rain X make a few different colors.  I know the winter ice melt one is pink.  The summer one may be green.

It's not easy being green. 

[Ghoste]

No doubt.  You have to lobby politicians and create mass hysteria in the press, create guilt in the public and excite corporations about buying a new image.  It just never ends.

[maxwellwedge]

I was talking about Kermit... ...but you are right

[Ghoste]

Do you not have some cars that you have entered into oem style judging?

[maxwellwedge]

My 440-6 Limelite 'Cuda was the last one....a few years ago....Got OE Gold and best of show. May go through it again with some other stuff but it is a huge undertaking of time, stress etc.   Ask Geno.....

[Ghoste]

Did they mark you on washer fluid colour?

[maxwellwedge]

To be honest - I don't remember.....

For concours you can fake it . Plain water with food coloring.
Odds are it's not gonna clean the glass real well.

You're worried about green windshield fluid?  My opinion (unsupported by any proof, analysis, etc ) is that color depends on the manufacturer.  They add color to get what they want.  I've used blue, green, yellow never red or some other color.  Not a lot of diff.  Look at the content.  Newer fluids are usually propelyne glycol vs the old etheleyne glycol but I don't really think it makes a big hoo-hoo.  Mostly used to keep the fluid from freezing on the windshield.

So use what it takes to match the OEM color. 

[Ghoste]

Understand all that, my question is WHICH manufacturers?  Products locally all seem to be blue.

Ahh, maybe now I understand, you want green??  Haven't seen that in a while.  Sorry, all I've seen lately is blue or pink.

Rain X and Windex makes a green version.  They're labeled as the bug remover but is still washer fluid.

Another option, make your own.

Haven't noticed either of those Stroker but I'll look for them.  Thanks.

[JB400]

Both were listed on the Walmart website, but are sold only in stores.  Might have to ask the next time you're there.

[Ghoste]

I'll check.  It's actually one place I never go for auto products and rarely for much else either. 

[JB400]

Napa, Autozone, and O Reilly's showed they had a version of it as well, at least on the websites.  All of them also had it labeled as the bug wash.

[Ghoste]

It could be a US only thing.  No O'Reillys or Autozone here and I checked the local NAPA.

Ghoste, yes as others have stated there are brands that offer green washer fluid, Rain X comes to mind and there are others. Most are labelled as Bug Remover.
I had it in my '70 when it was OE judged, afterward I emptied it out.
I wouldn't go the food coloring route, besides not working very well it will probably discolor or stain the bottle.

[resq302]

I have the green Rain X or whatever brand with the bug remover in there for the past few years and it has not stained the reservoir.

[Ghoste]

I think Bill is referring to using food coloring as a stain risk.

[ODZKing]

It is my belief that it is not the color but the alcohol that dries out the reservoir making them brittle and eventually changing color.
I have no plans of driving either car in th rain so I don't put anything in mine. Even if I should get caught in the rain I wouldn't need it anyway.

[Ghoste]

I rarely use mine either and the color isn't that big a deal but if I can find it then what the hell, I'll put it in.

I like the blue stuff in my washer bottle, it's purdy.

I used to have a bottle of the yellow fluid, which you can turn to green by pouring some of the blue in there.  I can't remember where I got it though...
