How to Quickly Remove Snow from a Car?

Methods to quickly remove snow from a car include: 1. Sprinkle salt: In simple terms, the main principle is that the freezing point of a salt solution is lower than that of water. Snowwater freezes below 0 degrees, while saltwater remains unfrozen below 0 degrees. The higher the concentration, the more the freezing point drops. Additionally, the process of salt dissolving is generally exothermic, which can further promote the melting of snow. 2. Turn on the heater: If it's light snow, a car duster can solve the problem. If you're not in a hurry, turn on the heater to warm up the car. If the snow is frozen solid or there are ice chips, avoid using the windshield wipers as it may damage them. It's best to prepare a bottle of alcohol and keep it in the car to effectively remove accumulated snow.
I use this method every morning when rushing to work: First, start the engine inside the car and turn the heater to maximum, directing it at the windshield. At the same time, take out the rubber snow scraper always kept in the trunk and scrape from the middle of the windshield towards the sides, remembering to go in one direction only—avoid scraping back and forth to prevent damaging the glass. Use a long-handled broom to sweep off the snow from the roof first, preventing it from sliding down and obstructing visibility while driving. For the door seams and handle areas, apply a warm water bag for a few seconds to melt the ice, but make sure the water isn’t too hot to avoid cracking the glass. The whole process takes about ten minutes, much safer than chemical sprays, and there’s no worry about corroding the car’s paint.
