windshield wash

Spray for clarity

Windshield wash is the fluid sprayed onto a vehicle's windshield to clean it, or the act of spraying it: Give the windshield a wash.

The liquid itself is also called windshield washer fluid—a mixture of water, alcohol, and detergent that resists freezing and cuts through road grime and insects.
