That’s what I use year round and never noticed any chatter.
Whatever blue -20 degree fluid that is on sale at the local farm store, Menard's or Walmart. I stock up once per year with a sale price.
Just picked up some distilled water to mix a new batch of the Kristall Klar...great stuff...smells good...not AS good as the VW factory stuff though
It's the closest I have found to be honest and I have been searching since my 2003 Golf. The soapy texture is right on point though with factory fluid.
Odd. I only have noticed this on my Tacoma's. My 2009 and 2021 would chatter something fierce after several months of using it. I don't remember the green bug stuff doing it as bad, but we haven't had a bad bug season in almost 3 years so I haven't bought it. Kinda concerning actually...

Other than blue-colored liquid non freezing down to -20F, purple to -25F, and rain-x down to -30F, is there any other tangible difference between them?
Sometimes the premium brands have more cleaning "stuff" in them sulfactants?
I like the -54f from Canada.. esp when some dip is tailgating me while I'm going 10mph over in the fast lane with people right in front of me.
The subaru has 6 squirts. (3-2hole squirters)
the -20f will freeze at about 20F in the morning if you are moving.

Other then the freezing temperature is there any other tangible difference between the products? Is Super Tech a gimped version of a “real” brand like Rain-X or Prestone?
It's all "blue" to me....I see no difference and I don't run the RainX stuff because in my VWs it can foul the sensor in the tank.

Does the German(?) something-klar that you use in one of your people’s cars does, for what it is worth, a bette job vs Super Tech (what a name, lmao)in your other people’s automobiles?
We make it at work.. it's Methanol, water and dye. -60* rated.
Have -40* as well but it freezes here

I like the Kristalklar stuff...but it's summer only so no good below freezing. For winter, basic ST blue works just fine for me.

Gotcha. During the summer, do you notice Kristalklar do a better job vs super tech, or is it puh·TAY·toy vs puh·TA·to — to your eyes?
Are any of these destructive to the paint?
It does work better. More soapy. Smells great.
Whatever is on sale, usually smells alcohol but not big deal.
Rain X because using wipers at highway speeds and raining or snowing means intermittent or low.
Rain X green, water beading ftw
