Some cheap o r homemade windshield washer fluids leave soapy o r greasy residues, leading to streaks when wiped. Are Toyota Camry owners in Pakistan using Toyota-recommended windshield washer fluids, o r do they prefer other brands for better clarity?

Yes, low-quality o r homemade windshield washer fluids can cause streaking because they often leave soapy o r greasy residues behind. This residue can create streaks when the windshield is wiped with the wipers. Toyota Camry owners in Pakistan sometimes prefer to use the recommended Toyota windshield washer fluid, but others use more readily available o r cheaper alternatives. Some have found that using higher-quality fluids o r mixing their own solution helps achieve clearer visibility.
