Is wintergreen rubbing alcohol bad for auto glass?

sportsfan_basketball_football asked:


I’m just curious, i think there might be a leak in the seal between the car and the windshiled glass because if I’m cleaning off my windshield after a rain storm has passed i can smell the normal winshield wash. its not a pleasant smell so i was wondering if i added some 50% isopropyl alcohol with wintergreen to make it smell better would that be so bad?

    alcohol is ok but not too much. it is used in some factory winshield cleaners. I dont know about the wintergreen though, it might gum up the hoses

    We use alcohol to clean the glass at my manufacturing company that produces auto glass. the only problem with adding that to the window wash system would be the fact the alcohol will deteriorate the rubber hoses feeding the system and rust any metal parts that will be in the pump that distributes the system. It is OK to clean your glass with alcohol but I would not recommend putting it in your cars cleaning system
