BTW the stuff we sell is NOT pre-mixed. If you don't add water to it, it could take the paint off your car.
Because it gives you the main ingredient on the bottle, but doesnt list any other possible additives (as it isnt required).

You bring up a good point. I'll check the M.S.D.S. bulletin for the product.

Found the M.S.D.S. bulletin for the "Windshield Washer Concentrate Cleaner & Antifreeze." Tell me what you think.

well I stand corrected, even the VP stuff is only 99.5% pure I think

Most people dilute 50/50 anyway with pure meth/distilled since water is a much better heat supressor than meth is, so the addivities will only be .25%

How much is a gallon?

One bottle=16 ounces
8 bottles=1 gallon

$3.87 X 8 = $30.96 per gallon, plus sales tax

Well, I guess you can use it in a pinch, but it's just not cost-effective. Even at my employee discount price, it comes out to $21.20 per gallon plus tax! Well, like I said earlier, it sounded good in theory.

brake fluid can take paint off too but we still use it water is a good knock depression as well but it can cause corrotion and it's not combustable like alchohol/meth is..
