A company with headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan, has a solution to uneven coverage of wiper fluid. Clearshield Company manufactures a windshield washing fluid heater, which instantly heats the fluid to approximately 50 degrees C. Heated windshield washing fluid sprays more consistently, helping to reach all parts of the windshield and is more effective at dissolving dirt and bugs. Clearshield also claims that windshield wipers will last longer and that the heated windshield washer fluid reduces the amount of scraping of ice and snow needed by the driver. Students are asked to find a marketing plan of action for the company.
