Wiper washer fluid

Does anybody know what additive is used in the wiper washer reservoir in the F30?

Otherwise, what additives do you use? I want one that cleans the windscreen effectively without affecting the paint finish.

I'm a bit nervous as on a previous car the additive I used blocked up the jets and they had to be replaced.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been using Turtle Wax's Bug Off for years. Never had a jet blockage or paint damage.

It's a mixture of water and methanol I believe. Not sure of the ratio.
