How many litres is the Windscreen washer Fluid tank?
The Manual doesn't indicate the capacity. Also, does anyone here use windscreen washer fluid from Repco, Supercheap etc? Which brand do you use? there is quite a few brands. RainX, Bug off, Trico etc |

They hold roughly 2 litres. I use truck wash, about 20mls. I buy truck wash ( Chemtech CT18) by the 20lt drum.

I used to use CT-18 to wash my car as well but I paid $15 for Meguairs Gold Class Car Wash and ever since then it's unbeatable The shine on the paintwork with Meguiars GC is mirrorlike |

I only ever use water now. I hate the marks left by cleaning soapy agents when it dries on the windscreen. I also think they are prone to gumming up the little pump in the washer bottle if you dont use it regularly. I recently cleaned my washer bottle out and was surprised at the amount of gunk in the bottom of it.

I use it to wash the car too. Hows the paintwork and any stickers holding up? I used it once when we had the big dust storm and that is some realy potent stuff. Anyway, I use amour all (cant remember the specific product name). Used to use the genuine motorcraft saches but found out that unless you are filling up from empto those saches are too much (and they are tiny). |

Here's the car after a wash. No wax was used, just washed with CT-18, and chamoised off.

armour all is crap..the meguires gold class wash is the best stuff .. i polished and waxed my car about 10 months ago (with meguires products) and ever since its just a wash and chamois and the cars sparkling ..
anyway for washer fluid i use the rain x one, as they have the good additive for beading water so i use it all round for windows.. |
