How to Defrost a Car in Winter?

[VanViolet]

Here are methods to defrost a car in winter: 1. Warm air defrosting; The best method is to start the car, and when the engine's water temperature rises, use warm air to blow on the windshield until the ice layer melts. However, this method has certain drawbacks, being time-consuming, labor-intensive, and fuel-consuming. If it doesn't rain or snow after parking, you can wipe the water off the windshield clean, which can also prevent the windshield from icing up again. 2. Physical defrosting; Car owners can prepare a hard plastic scraper or, better yet, a specialized glass ice scraper, which is more convenient, faster, and doesn't freeze your hands. When there is snow and ice on the glass, use the plastic scraper or glass ice scraper to remove it. But be reminded not to scratch the glass while removing ice and snow; the plastic scraper or glass ice scraper should not be moved back and forth but pushed in the same direction. 3. Chemical defrosting; Currently, there is a spray de-icer on the market, a high-speed anti-ice spray concentrate specially designed to thaw frozen car windows and wipers, which does not damage the car's surface and can prevent re-icing and dirt accumulation. At temperatures below -30°C, it can easily remove ice and snow, and it also prevents the windshield and water accumulation areas from icing up, leaving the glass clean and streak-free after cleaning. 4. Maintain the same temperature inside and outside the car when leaving; After using the car for the day, do not immediately lock the car and leave. Instead, open the doors to ventilate, wait until the temperature inside the car drops to about the same as the outside temperature (roughly a minute), then turn on the power, use the wipers to brush off the snow and water on the windshield, and then close the doors and lock the car.
