Fantastic idea, no idea how I hadn't thought of this. I will be doing this now. One thing to note, in wintry climates, you will still need a below freeze point windshield wash solution. Perhaps we could still add rinse less wash to the solution to improve the effectiveness regarding anti-water spots.
Great for warmer climates but will cause major damage to your washer bottle and possibly washer pump in cold weather. This will bust them wide open when the outside temp drops to freezing.
There is a product sold in North America called 20/10 that is an additive you can put in a washer fluid tank with regular washer fluid, or at a higher ration with plain water to make washer fluid. If you add 1 oz to a full tank of washer fluid, it will not only prevent water spots, but also degrease the window better than regular washer fluid. I have it in both my cars at the 1oz to full tank of washer fluid ration and I have zero greasy streaks after using it. It can strip off rain-x and other weaker glass coatings though so if you like those types of products, I would not recommend using it.
@@OmniGarage not 100% sure, will read the bottle when I get home. I’m lucky enough to have tap and rain water that is better than bottled where I leave so I would actually have to make water that causes spots myself
The di water is enough, no need for rinseless solution. On the contrary, something like onr will leave residue behind and will stain with blue dots the car
@@OmniGarage Yeah the one you added in not a washer fluid additive, I use the Bowdens Own i took my car to the dealership and i even put tape around my washer lid and inked (Do not touch) they did and since then i had two blocked jets as i have 3 holes on each nozzle, so 6 jets
It’s more about having water that is not going to cause water spotting when it dries on your paint. We see so many customer cars come in with water spotting along where washer fluid water dries. We then more often than not have to polish this out. People are real keen to tell us about a real aggressive washer fluid cleaner but that’s not the point. This rinseless wash encapsulates the minerals in the water preventing them from drying on the paint and hence water spots.
@OmniGarage well I'm new to detailing as I got a new car. I wanna learn how to do ceramic coating but I have no access to a garage. It's gotta be outside friendly and something that I won't screw up lol. Now in Australia is still nice and cool for me to do
Ceramic coatings are generally easy to use. It’s all about the prep work and having a nice clean surface to bond to. Paint correct is just dependent on whether or not you’re happy with the quality of your paint (scratches, gloss etc). We have heaps of videos on how to decontaminate the surface. High pH soap for contact wash, tar removal, synthetic clay and iron removal followed by water spot/water mineral removal. Polish if you need/want to. Panel wipe. Coat. Easy.
Thanks for featuring DIY Detail Rinse Less Wash!
No problem at all. It’s a good product and we like using it. We have V2 on the way. So excited to try that!
Does it mix with washer fluid by chance?
Unless you live anywhere it gets cold. It’ll freeze solid, crack your washer fluid bottle, possibly the pump and lines to. Great idea!
I guess you could have the same argument if it was really hot. Could the water evaporate?
@@OmniGarage most likely no, Washer fluid usually has an alcohol base and doesn’t usually evaporate.
@Spankus28 in this situation though? Water mixed with DIY Detail rinselss wash.

It’s not our original idea. But no one has really made a video on it. Correct, it will freeze. Here in NZ we don’t have that problem.
What a fantastic idea
Thank you. Hopefully that should give you safe washer fluid.

Absolutely! 👍🏻

And if you live in cold climates then apply common sense and use something more appropriate.

Sounds like an aggressive cleaner. How does it prevent water spots?
@@OmniGarage it removes beading/hydrophobic properties from glass, so the glass doesn’t bead.
Does it encapsulate the minerals from the water to prevent water spots?
@@OmniGarage not 100% sure, will read the bottle when I get home. I’m lucky enough to have tap and rain water that is better than bottled where I leave so I would actually have to make water that causes spots myself
Fair enough. And nice to live in a location where the water is legit!
and how do u go around low -10 / -20/-30 winter season it will freeze no ?
It will very rarely go below 0 degrees Celsius where we live so it’s a non-issue.
beat me to this ask......
The di water is enough, no need for rinseless solution.

The rinseless solution helps to remove dirt and grime off the windscreen.
Where did you buy yours from? $16.99 that's a good price!!
We purchased from Amazon but the $16.99 is the cost directly from DIY Detail.
@@OmniGarage Do you have a link? I looked at different shops that sells it here in Aus and they are all $39.99.
This was from the United States website.
This won't block the washer jet nozzles.
Can’t imagine any more than other washer fluid detergents that you can buy.
@@OmniGarage Yeah the one you added in not a washer fluid additive, I use the Bowdens Own i took my car to the dealership and i even put tape around my washer lid and inked (Do not touch) they did and since then i had two blocked jets as i have 3 holes on each nozzle, so 6 jets
Or you can just put in Rain-X with your regular washer fluid...

But won’t it mix with previous fluid
Empty the reservoir before putting it in.
What about for the winter you can't put water
Only if it gets below freezing point which it doesn’t here.
1 cap full of diy to per gallon.
That’ll work!
@@OmniGarage love your videos
@metrock_409 thank you. What kind/ type of videos would you like to see in the future?
