Default Mazda factory washer fluid?

Do any of you fine folks know what kind of windshield washer fluid Mazda uses at the factory?

I ask because the fluid that came in my new Mazda3 was awesome; I would give the windshield the barest of squirts and the wipers would completely clear my windshield to a spotless shine in the three default wipes. Once I ran out I put in some of the pink anti-icing wiper fluid, and the wipers now streak the heck out of the windshield. I find myself squirting and squirting and squirting to keep it so that I can see through the opaque streaks. I am sure the three quarts of pink stuff are about exhausted and I will try the standard blue stuff, but I am not at all optimistic that it will perform any better.

I use Rain-X in mine.
The only downside is you will need to clean your wiper blades periodically with rubbing alcohol to get the residue off
