Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Just don't use their orange washer fluid.

 

With a fresh application of that, I never use wipers. It's that good.

 

Why?

 

I'll 2nd the question, what's bad about the orange fluid? I have used it for years, it's good stuff.

 

Bad financial advice indeed!

 

I guess if you use it constantly it's ok.

But in the summer heat it tends to gum up the pumps and nozzles.

It's not inherently bad. It's just .... It can be annoying to the guy getting paid 0.2 hours to replace a bunch of hoses and other assorted shit

 

Huh, never heard that before (seriously I'm being genuine). Most years I'll put a bottle of orange stuff in come fall and run through it until spring, then I usually switch to the regular blue stuff without Rain-X or the green Rain-X for bugs. Never had a problem and I've had as many cars as LarryD but I keep them longer. Right now I'm back up to a fleet of 3.

Maybe it just doesn't get hot enough up here in the great white north compared to down in Ozark banjo land?

 

Out of Office is turned on for email and I have marked myself "Off - Unavailable" in our team status app. Just walked out the door. Damn it feels good to be a (truck) gangsta!

KenTWucky25, I'm ready!

 

I use the wiper fluid additive and it has worked great for years

 

KenTWucky25 has started

 

Thanks, I hadn't known that.

 

ive never heard of it either.

I imagine it's kinda like the ethanol problem, let it sit long enough and it breaks down. I use my washers a lot so its constantly getting fresh

 

I hardly use mine because I apply Rain-X directly to the windshield. It stays very clean.

 

Green rain-x ftw imo.

 

To bad you weren't closer, I would have given you a set to use.

 

We support all purchases!!

 

I use the rain-x wipers, once you get over 45mph shield clears itself.

 

I put the cheapies on and instantly like them better than the ones that cost me 3x as much, which I believe were Bosch.

I have used Rain-X in the past. Generally liked it, but in a drizzle, it made the windshield hard to see through. IIRC, the main ingredient is acetone.

 

Never had that problem.

 

Had stock wipers when bought the truck, heavy rains the water would just jump over the blades leaving no clear view, switched to rain-x beam blades & would never go back.
