Hi folks,

I have my washer bottle out the car and given it a scrub as best I can inside and out. Still looks a bit grubby so will have another go with some better brushes and product

Any tips or tricks?

Someone told me the dishwasher works, but make sure it is clean first ! :wink:

However it made little difference to mine so I bought a new one !

£23? They were asking over £30 at my dealers 5 years ago! For the standard/single bottle that is

Thanks guys, didn't realise they were so inexpensive. I only really need a standard one now so surely that is even cheaper.
