How to Deal with Frost on the Car Windshield in Winter?
2 Answers
The solutions for frost on the car windshield in winter are: 1. Start the car and turn on the heater while warming up the engine. When the engine's water temperature rises, direct the warm air toward the windshield to melt the frost by raising its temperature; 2. Make a homemade defogging solution by mixing detergent with water in a 1:10 ratio. Apply it to the inside of the windshield and the rearview mirror with a soft cloth, then wipe the glass clean with a dry cloth after it dries; 3. Use a professional defrosting spray. Simply brush off the snow, spray lightly on the frosted areas, and wipe clean to remove the frost. It can also form a thin protective film on the glass, effectively preventing moisture from condensing and forming fog. Without fog, frost naturally won't form either.
I used to get a bit annoyed when encountering frost on the windshield on winter mornings, but after years of driving, I've summarized a few practical methods. The first step is prevention: park in a garage or a covered area, which saves a lot of trouble. If parking outdoors, I cover the windshield with an anti-frost cover before going to bed, and in the morning, I just lift it off to find a clean windshield. If I forget, I start the car and turn the heater to the maximum setting, directing it toward the windshield, and then use a plastic ice scraper to gently remove the frost. Avoid scraping too hard to prevent scratching the glass; wait a few minutes for the warm air to melt any remaining frost, ensuring full visibility before driving. Regularly adding antifreeze to the windshield washer fluid also helps. After forming these habits, my winter driving has become much safer, and I no longer feel flustered.
