Intensive screen wash

The intensive windscreen wash for my 3.2 has run out and I need to purchase some more - it was last topped up during a service at an independant. I have searched through some of the Porsche parts / sundries companies but to no avail - I have not asked at the local Porsche centre though. Can anyone help with any suppliers?
Season's Greetings to you all!
ps nothing like a good drive on a crisp afternoon to get the oil circulating.
 
Last time we had an open day at OPC one of the technicians gave me some. I believe it is standard wash just at higher mix, the intensive clean is from higher pressure i believe ( if you use it in the Speedster with top done you get even wetter[:D])
 
The intensive wash is different and is not diluted. It is a special silicone remover, Porsche part number 928.628.931.00
 
There are a couple of other choices.

Sonax do something similar and it is available from Vauxhall dealers.

The German supermarket shop Liddel do an additive in a identical bottle to the Porsche one at a much cheaper price although I'm not sure if its exactly the same product but it appears to work.

Frost Auto restoration market a product called 'Dr OK Wack Screen wash' which is also in an identical bottle to the Porsche product
 
Don't mix the Porsche one with others, I used the Liddle wash and my washer fluid turned into wall paper paste. It does say on the Porsche bottle ( small print ) do not mix with other screen cleaner. [;)]
 
I may be wrong here,but this sounds quite powerful to me compared to regular screenwash and if it removes silicone will it not also remove say zymol or any other good waxes.But then again if porsche make it can we assume this has been taken into consideration and if it has could it be its no different from the cheap stuff.
Lots of ifs and butts here ,just got me thinkin thats all.
 
I have a spare bottle of the genuine Porsche intensive wash, new & unopened. Lidl is good for discount fruit juice & other such staples but maybe not the place to shop for 911 friendly products.
 
Thanks for all of the information. I think that I will stick with the original stuff. Geoff997, you kindly gave the part number - it does not show up in a few of the 'parts and service ware' providers product lists. Where is the place to get it from... local Porsche Centre?
 
I assume OPC's should still stock it. If not and you can wait till I return from skiing in France 1st week of February! ( there's s**t loads of snow here) I have a new bottle in the garage, which you can have for a £5 donation to Somerset and Dorset Air Ambulance + shipping cost. Contact me then if your still interested by eMail.
BUT this doesn't solve an ongoing problem in the future. If Porsche no longer provide this product then an alternative will be required. To avoid any mixing issues, you could always flush the system through with clean water and then just use a more concentrated mix as others have suggested using a quality product from elswhere. Good luck with the search.

Thanks for the reply - I may take up your offer anyway. I will speak to local OPC this week and find out if they still stock it. I will let you know the answer and for others' interest.
Happy [apres] skiing.
