Lee Special - Screen Wash

A somewhat inane Lee Special for you all, on the subject of... car screen wash!

With only a few hundred miles under our belt, we quickly realised that Fin's current screen wash was not up to the task. We'd be travelling over 25,000 miles on this road trip through all sorts or terrains and weathers, and we'd need something that could handle salt, oil, grime and most of all, the besplattered innards of millions of bugs.

Upon recommendation from our Stateside friend Marina, we hit the Walmart and hunted down Rain-X. Supposedly the best screen wash out there, they do a variety of colour-coded screen washes for different scenarios including anti-freezing and bug removal.

We went for the latter, and never before have I been so excited about and impressed with a screen wash product. The beading action means that you barely need your wipers on: the rain just forms into little beads that get blown off as you drive along. And while it didn't do a perfect job of dealing with our epic levels of bug besplatterage, it gave it a darn good shot!
