How to Remove Frost from Car Windows?
2 Answers
Methods to remove frost from car windows include: 1. Use old cassette cases, CD cases, or expired credit cards/rechargeable cards to scrape off the frost; 2. After parking at night, cover the front and rear windshields with newspapers, old sheets, or towels, and remove them in the morning to prevent frost formation; 3. Open both car doors after parking to ventilate and equalize the interior temperature with the outside; 4. Start the engine, set the air conditioning to the highest temperature, activate the front windshield defroster, rearview mirror heating, and rear windshield heating functions.
I'm used to dealing with frost on my car windshield every morning, and the method is quite simple: first, start the car, turn the heater to the highest setting, and direct it at the windshield for a few minutes to let the frost melt slowly. Then, use a dedicated glass scraper to gently scrape from the outside in, being careful not to press too hard to avoid scratching the glass. If the frost is particularly thick, I spray some de-icing spray—cheap and effective from the supermarket—wait a few seconds, and then easily scrape it off. When parking, I choose a sunny spot or cover the windshield with an old bedsheet to reduce frost formation. If there's fog inside, I turn on the air conditioning's defogging mode—combining internal and external methods is efficient. In winter, I always keep a scraper and spray in the car. Once it becomes a habit, it doesn’t delay my departure time at all and even helps prolong the windshield's lifespan.
