The Vodka reminds me of a guy I knew that had a hose sticking out under the radio in the Dash Board and if you held your glass there and he hit the washer button you got it filled with Bourbon.

Smell doesn't bother me, it's just a slightly different alcohol smell than any of the other options. I do mix it with the cheap blue washer fluid, so it is not full strength.

The vodka in the washer reservoir could get interesting if you get pulled over for anything. Simply wash your windshield right as the revenue collector walks up to the car. Just make sure that you are going to blow zero's on the breathalyzer.

reminds me of a news piece I read in London, apparently a guy was driving after a few pints, he gets pulled over and as the cozzers are approaching he proceeds to clean his mouth with "listerine" he had lying in his car.

the breathalyser went off the scale.

Tried it and didn't like it

I tried the rain x washer fluid and it seemed to smear and did not work well. I siphoned it out after a few uses. I only tried it because the rain x glass treatment worked so well. I still use the glass treatment, but won't use that fluid again.

Here in the pacific northwest, the rain-x washer fluid has worked wonders. That being said, my SEC is a little before the installation of the heated reservoir.

(It's problem is siphoning out the fluid through the head light washer plumbing instead!)
