Autoglym Ultimate Screenwash review

Autoglym Ultimate Screenwash, Concentrated 500ml

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
4.3 / 5

A genuinely versatile concentrate rather than a single-use product: dilute it weak for everyday summer topping-up or strong for real freeze protection, so one small bottle replaces several seasonal screenwashes. A sensible, low-drama boot-kit staple.

Best for
Drivers who want one bottle that handles both summer bug/grime removal and proper sub-zero winter screen protection.

Researched, not used. We haven't used this product. This review is built from the maker's specifications, owner reports and our own sizing.

What we like

  • Adjustable dilution covers -1°C (weak mix) right through to -45°C neat, so it works year-round
  • Concentrate makes up to 8 litres, working out cheaper per litre than ready-mixed jugs
  • Safe on paintwork, trim and headlight washer jets

Worth knowing

  • You have to measure and mix it yourself — no ready-to-use option at this size
  • Stronger winter dilutions use the bottle up faster than a pre-diluted jug

Who shouldn't buy this

You'd rather not measure and mix — buy a pre-diluted 5L winter screenwash jug instead and skip the dilution step.
