The theoretical points seem well covered above - as far as readily available surfactants there are lots around.

I think the place where you would see the most difference is in blocks designed around turbulence like #rotor's blocks, or in blocks with very rough channels or pressure nozzles. At higher velocities the surface tension of the water in these blocks might cause less wetting of the surface.

However, I doubt in our applications that you would see any difference between an industrial chemical like nPB or pFB and a household like JetDry.

The windshield washer is probably a good idea, I've been thinking about that too for when I add a chiller into my system, both for the freezing point benefits and surfactant.
