Default Where to buy Washer Fluid w/ alcohol that comes in stock car?

Where can I buy the washer fluid that has the alcohol in it that comes stock with the car? Also, anyone heard any horror stories about it.

WHY? The smell alone is not worth it.....go buy the local stuff for $.99/gal.

Default Better for the paint and the environment as well as not foaming at speed ;-)

Don't you hate it when you are doing 120mph and the windsheildwasher fluid foams on the glass ?

Default it cleans better than the cheap stuff, and better than the more expensive green (NOT rain-x) stuff

It's got alcohol in it (obviously) and other things. Someone actually reverse engineered it in a lab and provided the full list of ingredients and measurements so ppl can mix their own. I just ask my dealer to fill me up when I go in or am in the area, they usually don't have a problem.

The stuff smells exactly like the Braun Syncro cleaning solution as well.

I love the smell of the stuff!

Default Green Rain-X washer fluid is the best!

This stuff works incredible. Plus, I don't have to ever use my windshield wipers in light to moderate rain.
