      I have several flasks of the stuff I bought overpriced at had stations, because I keep finding out I need a s refill when on the road. I though up until now that I would never buy another flask of the stuff for at least five years.

      However this is different. I need SUPERPISS!

        There’s something ridiculously great about a people willing to call windscreen washer fluid superpiss. We should learn from the Finns.

        The only ones I don’t want to learn from the Finns are the Germans, because they’d take it way too far and not even be funny about it. There would be 50+ German products named something-“shit”-something, and they’d add pictures to the label.

    You can also just make your own washer fluid. Look up a recipe online.

    It’s something like combining water, a bit of rubbing alcohol, and a little dish soap. Super cheap and eco friendly.

        Oh good point. I live in temperate climate.

        But perhaps the rubbing alcohol keeps it from freezing.

          Don’t think that would be enough in cold climate since it’s just a bit mixed in with other liquids. I think they use special antifreeze stuff in those liquids that make the whole thing resistant (like the one in this image is rated to -54°).

          Rather than me making uneducated guesses, I found an interesting article about just this topic: https://blending.globecore.com/composition-antifreeze-washing-liquid-windshields

      🧪 Basic Windshield Wiper Fluid Recipe (All-Season) Ingredients: 1 gallon distilled water

      1 tablespoon dish soap (mild, non-foaming like Dawn)

      1/2 cup rubbing alcohol (isopropyl, 70% or higher — helps prevent freezing)

      Instructions: Pour the distilled water into a clean gallon container.

      Add the dish soap and rubbing alcohol.

      Mix gently to combine — avoid creating too many suds.

      Use a funnel to pour the mixture into your vehicle’s windshield washer fluid reservoir.

      ❄️ Winter/Freezing Weather Version: If you live in a cold area, increase the amount of rubbing alcohol:

      Use 1 cup of isopropyl alcohol (or more, depending on how cold it gets — up to 99% alcohol works best below freezing).

      You can also substitute methanol (Heet gas line antifreeze in the red bottle) for better freeze protection — just handle with care and avoid breathing the fumes.**

      No, it comes from the fact that the washing device is commonly called pissapoika (piss boy)

    Probably contains urea to reduce the freezing point.

      That may be, but the finnish word for a car window washer is “pissapoika” which translates to “piss boy”.

      Most likely not, we’re already having trouble with adblue (basically just urea) freezing, especially in the northern parts. There was recently some piece of news where a repair shop in Lapland was up to their neck in repair orders for emissions control systems due to frozen adblue liquid.

      Practically all washer fluid sold in Finland uses some alcohol as the deicer, typically just your normal denatured ethanol. I’d also think having urea in the washer fluid would wreak absolute havoc on some parts that get exposed to it – I’m under the impression that it’s quite nasty stuff for many different materials.
