Have tried it on windscreens but without success, not used the scourer I admit which may be the reason for my failier.
The volvo screen wash I find very good at preventing streaks, in fact so good I use nothing else in any of my cars.

That garden spray bottle. Is it one of the pump up to pressurise types?
I ask because I used one for Waxoyl under the caravan and one for Cuprinol on one of our sheds but didn’t scrupulously clean them afterwards. Cheap ones from Asda garden section. The rubber washer/“O” ring in the pump went soft and deformed so didn’t work next time. I had great trouble finding replacements of the correct size. The ones in my stock of “O” rings were either the wrong ID or the wrong OD or the wrong section. I eventually managed to obtain replacement washers from a specialist supplier who searched out the correct size in a material which, they said, would not be affected by the fluids that I was using. Not sure how they will stand the test of time though.
