    I know its a dumb question, but I use RainX 2n1. Its the orange fluid. I love it because rain sheds away and it does well with snow and ice. It also dissolves bug crust pretty well. What do you use?

    You must not have many flying insects where you live. I fill up the reservoir three or four times a summer. I just use whatever is on display at the filling station.

    I use whatever is on sale at Walmart and other stores.

    Is your truck in Qatar? No rain, no washer fluid needed I guess...

    x3 on the orange rainex. Helps keep the bugs from sticking in the summer.

    Stoner Invisible Glass comes with a rainex-type additive now; I'm wanting to try it!

    Why the hell is there a cube in the top front corner of the 2nd gen reservoir?

    I ran the original juice down fairly low, grabbed a bottle of Rain-X, started filling.
    Thought, "Wow! This is a huge rezzy and it's going to take the whole thing!"

    Suddenly, 3" from the top, it starts coming up twice as fast but I don't see "green" at the front of the rezzy... just at the rear. WTF!

    Ended up driving around for 3 weeks with a jug of Rain-X in my passenger floor.
    Topped it off, then went to SWMBO's Rav4 and topper her up.

    Still didn't drain the bottle.
    Fuck it. I'm not going to save 3oz of Rain-X :D
