I have used the Orange Rain-X All-Season windshield washer fluid for years on all my cars and never had a problem until recently. I refilled my 2021 SuperDuty recently and must have gotten a bad batch with way too much Rain-X in it. I got a surprise while towing my trailer down the interstate...hit the washer and it was like I sprayed my windshield with silicone tire-shine. I was blinded....Had to stick my head out the window to see until I could pull over and spray-wipe-spray it off. Fortunately I had glass cleaner and paper towels in the trailer.

Once home I pumped out the reservoir w/ a Harbor Freight suction pump and then stuck a garden hose in it to flush it out...running several tanks worth through the sprayers until the tank was empty...refill and repeat. Then put plain old blue washer fluid in it.

Unfortunately I still have greasy washer fluid coming out. I have read Rain-X is silicone based. Any ideas on how to dissolve the Rain-X from the walls of the tank and hoses? Or should I replace the tank, pump and hoses with new ones?

What a massive PITA. Thanks for any advice you can give me.
