Thinking about topping off your washer fluid with a splash from the garden hose? Think twice! 🚫🚰 It feels like a quick hack, but plain water drops the ball on two major things:
Zero Cleaning Power: Water can't dissolve sticky bug guts, tree sap, or road grime. Instead, it just smears a blurry streak across your glass.
The Freeze Factor: Come cold weather, water freezes solid inside the plastic reservoir, leading to cracks in the tank and damage to the tiny pump motor inside!
Keep a jug of real fluid in your trunk instead! If your car needs a top-off in addition to other maintenance, give Cruz-N-Carz - Ella Street a call or visit our team in Pearland, TX.
