How do you defrost your windscreen?

[waynne]

What do you use to get the frost off your windscreen? I used a plastic scraper until I found that it was scratching the glass. I have a friend who uses a credit card but I dont want to stuff up my card cos I use it a lot.

normally use a plastic scraper but here the thing i use the rubber strip

have you got a libary card or something similer ?

Plastic lemonade bottle with tap water and a can of cheap 'n' nasty tesco de-icer spray. I hate Tesco groceries and the fresh meat is plain horrible but I'm happy to use de-icer from there.

When you get home at night after using your car for the last time, open the windows and let the car take in the cold air for 5 minutes.

When you return to the car in the morning your windows will only have a minimal amount of frosting. It will be bl**dy cold though!

I use lukewarm water - it stops it refreezing and you dont get the ice on the inside that you tend to get with de-icer sprays.

ive used water boiled from the kettle b4 but i have been told not to do that as the glass may crack so i wouldnt advise it as such yet coz its fast i still do it ill pay 1 day im sure

i used to use the hot water outo the tap , then again at ma mums its pretty much boiling a min after it comes outo the tap, but was told this would crack the window so have sinse stopped but i see alot of people use it

I leave my wipers at full sweep with some big bits of card underneath stopping the frost getting to the glass. Walk out in the morning, remove the card, job done.

do that at work with a survial blanket but no at hame some c**t would nick it as parked on the street

lukewarm tap water is good. Not out of the kettle and hot. I've got one of those heated front windscreen efforts - it works to a point but once you've noticed the wires they are an annoyance year in year out. Every bloody day
