Does your auto parts store have any? I'm looking at two 55 gal drums of it. Quoting: DieselTech But I don't use the blue stuff. I'm a Rain-X snob. Their anti-fog stuff is so nice in humid areas. Oh yeah. I forgot I had a bottle of that! My truck has a bit of a water leak and fogs up the windshield bad! Thanks!  Bad heater core? |

Does your auto parts store have any? Hhmm. Interesting, OP. My product experience is Easy Off oven cleaner. I've been attempting to purchase it all year in Hou, and the only place I can catch even an off brand can is at a Dollar Store. Quoting: TXP It's bizarre. Vinegar and baking soda... really! Windshield washer fluid? I'll see what is available here and buy it all up. Winter would be a real bitch without it, but homemade might work as well as long as it doesn't freeze. you probably know that vinegar and baking soda make a giant alka-seltzer. ... Quoting: South Central Nice! Do you know where the leak is or is it just some sort of mystery leak? The driver's door needs new seals and the cab corner has a hole in it. The truck took some base ball sized hail damage and I think the windshield wasn't fitted very well either. You could possibly have a heater core leak. There is usually an accompanying sweet smell in the vehicle. It's solid. But the HVAC box has a hole in it someone sealed with duct tape, and it drips water with the A/C on. I need to make a proper patch for it with my plastic welder, or a piece of flat plastic and RTV. I just need to move to the desert. JB water weld might work on the roof hole as a temporary fix. I haven't tried it yet it but it does sound like it's supposed to work.. |

Does your auto parts store have any? Yes. My local chain was stock full. Bought 2 bottles of rain-x all season. One for me and one for the lady. That stuff is one of the greatest inventions ever. Same price it’s been for years. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80831018 Forgot to add…Hardly even have to use wipers even in a heavy rain. The only downside is morning dew, but usually goes away after a few minutes of driving. |

In the event the power goes out and you have no alternate heat source, or an insufficient one, the drain traps and toilet bowl, which always have water in them, could freeze and be severely damaged or destroyed as the water expands. Windshield washer fluid poured into the traps and toilet bowl will lower the freezing point of the water, saving your plumbing. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53679540 Of course, a I’m just one of those horrible, worthless AC’s that should be banned, so you probably should dismiss whatever I have to say on general principle. I learn a lot of cool things from AC posts. I get sad then they get blanket banned. You get confused with the shills but I understand/respect your need for privacy. I used to be an AC but eventually realized I wanted to be part of the family. Thank you.  I’ve been thrown out with the bath water more than a few times, but I have my reasons for not joining. This is a fantastic exchange between two posters. Thank you to both of you. I do seem to remember isopropyl alcohol being fall less expensive. Not to mention stores used to stock more of the 91%/70%. Now with 50% it can be hard to find the other two. It is already illegal (without licensing) to distill alcohol, even wood alcohols (beyond highly defined percentages). It was a hard decision to basically dox myself by becoming a paying member of a conspiracy forum but it's worth it. The people here are awesome. |

Does your auto parts store have any? I went to the auto parts store for windshield wiper fluid today. Two auto parts stores literally had only one left. Later, I looked online and Wal mart pick up had a 16 oz expensive kind. Quoting: South Central I live between Austin and San Antonio on the edge of the hill country. Since this is something that gets used up fast... will this the thing to run out and get people's attention? Your story is lame. [link to www.amazon.com (secure)] I believe in science NOT religion.

Essentially, it's the same formula as the store bought solution. Dork Nozzle |
