Lets see what the UK Health Protection Agency has to say

They say that car anti-freeze is almost always PEG and that you're a dopey know-all ****.

Correction:

There are many uses for methanol including
the manufacture of other chemicals and in
the production of paints, solvents, varnishes,
paint thinners, certain cleaning solutions
such as windscreen wash and some
antifreeze solutions.

In the home, methanol may be used in
antifreeze and for powering small model
engines.

Methanol has good solvent properties and is used widely in paints, varnishes, paint thinners
and cleaning products such as vehicle wind-screen wash.

Methanol is added in small amounts (~5%) to ethanol (alcohol) to make Industrial Methylated
Spirit (IMS) or “meths”.

So its widely used as an antifreeze and cleaner, mostly in screenwash nowadays
