Have you noticed an annoying streaking on your windshield when you turn on the wipers? A ghostly sheen that fades, only to reappear with each new wipe?
I had both the steaks and the smell with Audi factory fluid, but switching to good old 20/10 got rid of the steaking and the smell.
To get rid of the steaks, it was necessary to dump and then throughly rinse out the wiper fluid reservoir with several changes of water. Then you need to VERY GENTLY clean the windshield with Bon Ami GLASS (not CERAMIC or TILE) cleaner, and then wash with a lot of water.
If you have only the smell, simply dump the reservoir and switch to 20/10.
