I have a 11 SS convertible with about 15000 miles on it.
I just realized I still have the factory washer fluid in the bottle.

Anybody else guilty of this?

The car won't melt in the rain , but it gets treated like it will.
It does get driven hard though.

Yes, I have a 2011 SS with 835 original miles and have never used the windshield washer or wipers for that matter.
I put mine away from Sept through April and only drive it on nice sunny Sundays!

On my 2011, I've only tested the wipers at the dealers when I picked it up.

Mine does too. Although, I must admit, I've used my wipers a few times. HOWEVER, only to wipe dust off of the windshield after it's been sitting in the carport for a month or two.

Factory fluid here too. May have used it a couple of times in the last 3 years.

I owned my 2010 SS for three and half years and even though it was driven in the rain quite a bit, l never once used the washers. Funny thing is, I removed the original washer fluid when I added the Apex scoop and WW relocation kit and filled the new bottle with Rain-X fluid, which I also never used. The original fluid is in a gallon jug in my garage where it's been for about 2 years.

Guilty. The stock fluid has been in there for 4 years now and has not been touched.

Some states are required to perform a test of the wipers and washer fluid as part of the annual auto inspection.
