I was given this in exchange for a honest review.

So I was given a sample of this innovative product while I was in Florida detailing for a couple weeks. Upon my arrival back to the freezing cold New England weather I was excited to try out the new Mckees anti frost washer fluid on our daily driver Silverado that sits outside year around.


So one thing I wanted to point out is that while we were in Florida we had an oil change done on the truck and they topped off the windshield fluid with a standard fluid that doesn't have anti freeze capabilities as found out a couple days after arriving back home that the fluid had frozen. Whoops!


But thanks to this product it helped keep the remaining fluid from freezing. Pretty cool.

Anyway onto the pictures.

This was a pre production bottle but same exact fluid inside.




As you can see my windshield gets a pretty even frost.





I just simply poured in the whole bottle in the reservoir. I am not to sure what dilution ratio I used due to there being a good amount of standard fluid left. I just added the whole thing which topped it off.









Then I tested it out by giving it a few squirts. It cleaned right up with no streaks which is nice during very cold weather where standard stuff will usually streak.





Fast forward about 2 weeks later and I was curious to see if it actually prevents frost like advertised.

Well there is definitely a difference between where the fluid had been applied vs not. You can see the lower part of the window where the wiper doesn't contact has much more frost then the rest. The main part of the window has more of a light fog on it.




As before. A couple squirts and she is clean and streak free.




Pretty cool product. Definitely going to continue monitoring it over the coming weeks.
 
That's a pretty cool pic and review. Just wondering if the area where the wiper was located and swiped was dryer initially vs the area where the wiper has no contact.?
 
Outstanding review Justin. :dblthumb2:

What's really cool about Anti-Frost Windshield Washer Fluid is the more you use it, the more effective it becomes!

If you live in a northern climate, do yourself a favor and save a few bucks by purchasing the gallon to start with. It's a better value, plus you'll have more than enough to get you through the harsh winter months without having to re-order more and pay for shipping again. :cool:
 
Nick, will you be working on a formula that prevents snow? :)
Thanks for the review Justin. Many customers will enjoy a top-off this season of McKee's Anti-Frost Washer Fluid....

Paul,

Yes. It's called moving to Florida. :cheers:

That's what I did the day after graduating high school, and I haven't looked back yet. ;)

Biggest problem is how to bottle/package it.........

Thanks again Nick for the opportunity to review this product! I can see it being a hit once others try it.

Your welcome! I think we should get to work on that before Nick does! Ha-ha.

Yup moving to Florida will definitely do it! I still miss it this time of year there.
 
Thanks for the review! Looks like another winner from McKee's. I'd love to use this now that winter has arrived but oh man the price! Maybe after I see a few more reviews on using it in norther climates like mine I'll bite.
 
Tis why they sell antifreeze up north and coolant down south ;)
 
Looks interesting. A picture is worth a thousand words, so they say.

However, even with all of the 'no freeze' washer fluids sold, those with -25 to -27 advertised in mart stores and farm stores, I've not found one that would actually keep from freezing. That after emptying tank, pouring in some new and spraying the windshield, then filling the tank. I notice this around 18F-20F just sitting in front of the house. Add wind chill and/or let the temps get colder and you won't wash the windshields in my vehicles until it warms up. Those products I buy help, but that's the extent of it.
 
Paging Nick -

Looked on Mckees main site as well. Is there a pic of the dil. ratio with this concentrate
