From what I just read on their website is that windshield fluid only weighs 8lbs per gallon (same as water) but rim guard is 11lbs per gallon.
I also have wondered about tubes. It seems to me there would be some condensation inside the rim surface between the tube and rim during temperature changes and that would eat away at the rims. I know the tire pressure would press the tube tight against the rim wall but it just doesn't sound good to me.
