Don't want those proprietary windscreen (windshield) washer liquids removing the wax! ;o)

Distilled water works well for me. No minerals to clog up the plumbing.

Distilled water... Porsche fluid... non-washer liquids??? Ok, I'm busted. Just plain Windshield Washer fluid in a big ol' blue jug. It really cuts that winter road salt too.

David... today may be my LAST commute down those windy roads. Taking a few days off this week for packing and then I'm moving to the I-270 commute. I may work Friday, but probably not.) So in case I don't see ya this evening...

Funny now that I think of it, my last 993, I never used the squirters! The four year I had the car never even thought to check the level..

I use the official Porsche washer additive, but I've heard that this may cause the windscreen surround corrosion that I had fixed last year! It's been slowly diluted over the last year so hopefully it's no longer lethal!

I guess Porsche has never been that successful with water in their road cars
