Washer fluid that WON'T remove sealant/wax?

[emaxxman]

Is there a windshield washer fluid that won't remove wax? I see autogeek carries the P21S and Wurth washer additives. Both say they can be diluted with straight water and used in lieu of traditional washer fluid.

Will either of these strip the wax or sealant protectant?

I plan on using EX-P topped/maintained with OCW. I ask because I have a long commute and in winter, the windshield gets pretty caked with salt from the road. I use my washer fluid constantly during driving to get the windshield clean enough to see thru.

Wouldn't the salt do more damage to he wax or sealant than the washer fluid?

I spent a couple of years in NJ on a consulting project. During winter the car would look terrible, but it was a rental. I remember driving in the snow to the Newark airport many times.

I don't know. I guess it sounds reasonable that it would strip the wax. But then, the wax would be doing what it was meant to do...protect against the elements. My concern is finding a washer fluid that doesn't speed up the deterioration of the wax/sealant layer.

Good point!
