What type of wiper fluid?
I've always used plain-old gas station blue wiper fluid in my cars (Hondas, BMWs, Saabs), and wonder if that's OK to do in my 2018 Q5. I ask because my low-fluid alert just appeared, and I've seen some conflicting info online.
Is there anything special (and better) about the fluid sold by Audi parts? Anything harmful to paint or otherwise bad about basic fluid?
What do you folks use?

.
Einszett 1Z (or could be called Nexzett) Kristal Klar Windshield Washer Concentrate.Concentrated so it makes 3.4 fl oz into 7 gallons.I use it in a spray bottle to keep my glass clean in between washes. Heaps better than the VW/Audi branded stuff.

Most washer fluid are just a combination of water and methanol (anti-freeze portion). Avoid any with additives like rain-x since those will ruin the fluid level sensor and pump.
