How do you clear frost of the car windshield?

While I was scraping my windshield this morning, I was wondering what everyone else did on frosty mornings.

Re: How do you clear frost of the car windshield?

I have a fabulous SO who warms up the car before we leave in the morning. Chat Icon

When i was still working at my last job, he would get up at 5am and shovel my car out, scrape it off, and warm it up for me so i could leave at 5:30am. Chat Icon He didn't have to be up until 6:30!

Yeah, he's a keeper. Chat Icon

Re: How do you clear frost of the car windshield?

I usually don't get it started early enough to just use the defroster, so it's a combo of defrosting and scraping.

Auto Start! hahaha Chat Icon

Before we get out of the truck we leave the heat on high, and the defroster on. Then about 20min before we leave we auto start. Let it warm up and warm up the windshield.


My car.... stays in the garage.


(Yes, we get frost, no snow, but ice is always present for winter).

Re: How do you clear frost of the car windshield?

I scrape the car and run the defroster. Since I have to put my infant in the car, I want to make sure all my windows are clear and the car is warm for her.

This.
Once the frost starts to thaw, I go at it with the scraper.

Re: How do you clear frost of the car windshield?

I spray windshield wiper fluid on it- and use the wipers
The fluid contains anti-freeze- so it works like a charm!
