word choice - The informal name for windscreen washer fluid


What would be the right term for windscreen washer fluid that e.g. gas station's personnel would use? C.f. traffic turn indicator would be called blinker. So I'm looking for an informal name used by common people.



Answer



I have done most of my driving in California and Washington. I refer to the liquid in question as either "windshield wiper fluid" or "wiper fluid". So the informal name (that I am familiar with) is "wiper fluid".
