wiper fluid

Spray for glass

Wiper fluid is the liquid sprayed onto a vehicle's windshield to help the wipers clean away dirt, bugs, and road grime.

It typically contains water mixed with detergent and antifreeze to prevent it from freezing in cold weather.

Also called washer fluid or windshield wiper fluid: I need to top off the wiper fluid before winter.
