Re: Cherry flavoured screen wash

Have you noticed that all the good car cleaning stuff smells good enough to either eat or drink!

Re: Cherry flavoured screen wash

I've just opened a bottle of Harrods wine, and tbh I think it would make a better screen wash than wine

Re: Cherry flavoured screen wash


Anyway, back OT.

Is the Cherry/other flavoured stuff worth buying, and is it any good ?

Re: Cherry flavoured screen wash

I think the Skoda stuff isn't citrusy anymore - still smells fairly pleasant though. Still a shame, really liked the old stuff

Lots of car cleaning products smell ace! Megs Last Touch and Pinnacle Detailing spray smell of coconut, Pinnacle Liquid Wax is a rich caramel scent

The Swissol stuff all smells ace, as do all Megs products in my experience!!

Struggle to find anywhere that sells awesome scented spray air freshners though!!!

Its soooo important to keep the things either on a very high shelf, or locked up in the garage out of the way of children... hell even I've been close to drinking the Pinnacle wax!!!

Re: Cherry flavoured screen wash

Hey Guys! I was under the impression we had to use VAG screenwash or a high spec one due to the problem with some screenwashes 'foaming' and forcing the pipe joint apart towards the rear wash wipe. Is this not the case??
