2 Answers
Methods to deal with frost on the car windshield in winter are: 1. Spray anti-fog agent, which forms a transparent protective film on the glass; 2. Use the air conditioning's dehumidification function to reduce air humidity; 3. Use the warm air method from the air conditioning to reduce the temperature difference and eliminate frost on the windshield. The reason for frost on the car windshield in winter is the significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. Methods to prevent frost on the car windshield in winter are: 1. Apply soapy water, detergent, ethylene glycol, glycerin, or polyvinylpyrrolidone; 2. Use thick plastic film coated with silicone, then apply hydroxyethyl methacrylate silicone; 3. Apply a solution of carboxymethyl cellulose and salt onto the glass.
I often encounter frost on the windshield when driving in winter, which is really a headache to deal with. The most straightforward method is to use a hard plastic ice scraper to carefully scrape off the frost layer after getting up in the morning. Start gently from the outside of the glass and avoid using too much force to prevent scratching the glass. After starting the car, turn on the heater and set it to defrost mode, which can speed up the defrosting process. It usually takes a few minutes for the frost to melt. If the frost is very thick, I spray some specialized defrosting spray before scraping, which works better but be careful not to use it too frequently to avoid corroding the glass. In the long run, prevention is key. For example, parking the car in a garage or a sheltered area reduces exposure, and covering the windshield with a cloth or a professional car cover at night can block frost, making things easier the next day. After all, safety comes first, and clear visibility is crucial.
