How to Defrost a Car in Winter?
2 Answers
In winter, car frost can be removed using methods such as spray de-icer. Here are specific methods for defrosting a car in winter: 1. Warm Air Defrosting: Start the car, and after the engine coolant temperature rises, use warm air to blow on the windshield until the ice layer melts. If it does not rain or snow after parking, you can wipe the water off the windshield to prevent it from freezing again. When it snows, after parking, clean the windshield and cover it with a layer of newspaper. When you drive again, simply remove the newspaper, and you won't have to worry about the windshield freezing. 2. Using Spray De-icer: This is a high-speed anti-ice spray concentrate specially designed to thaw frozen windows and wipers. It does not damage the car's surface and prevents re-freezing and dirt accumulation. Even at temperatures below -30°C, it can easily remove ice and snow. Additionally, it prevents the windshield and water accumulation areas from freezing, leaves no streaks, and keeps the glass clean after use.
Dealing with frost in winter is indeed a headache. From my 20 years of driving experience, removing frost requires a combination of heating and manual effort. Don't rush to drive off immediately after getting in the car. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes first. Once the water temperature rises, turn on the heating and direct the warm air toward the windshield. It's best to set the car to defrost mode with high fan speed. Keep a plastic scraper in the glove compartment—if the frost is too thick, scrape it off directly, but avoid using metal to prevent scratches. Prevention is even better: park in a sheltered spot or cover the car with a dedicated car cover at night to reduce frost formation; if the humidity inside the car is high, open the windows to let the moisture escape, making your morning routine much easier. Developing good habits can prevent the dangers of blurred vision, as safety is the top priority when driving in winter. If you encounter stubborn ice, wait patiently for it to melt—don't rush or get frustrated.
