How to Solve Frost on Car Windows in Winter?
2 Answers
If there is frost on the car windows, there are two methods to solve it: 1. If you have a hard card in the car, you can use the card to scrape off the frost on the window from top to bottom. A snow shovel would be even more convenient. Advantages of this method: It is relatively quick and saves time. Disadvantages: It may easily scratch the glass. 2. Start the vehicle and wait for the engine's water temperature to rise to the normal working temperature, then press the defrost button on the air conditioning system to heat the front windshield at maximum fan speed. Once the temperature on the glass rises, the frost will automatically melt. After melting, use the windshield wipers to assist in cleaning, and the frost on the glass will be completely removed. The advantage of this method is that it does not damage the glass, but the disadvantage is that the engine warm-up time is too long.
In winter when frost forms on car windows, I usually start by scraping off the surface ice with an ice scraper. This is the most straightforward method for quick clearance when rushing in the morning. I also recommend applying antifreeze spray beforehand, such as a homemade 1:1 mixture of alcohol and water. Spray it and wait a few minutes before scraping – the ice comes off much easier. Turning on the heater to blow warm air at the windows while warming up the car is also effective, but never pour warm water as the temperature difference may crack the glass. Prevention beats treatment – I always cover the windows with a car cover or old cloth when parking overnight to minimize frost formation. Always ensure complete frost removal before driving, as obscured vision is extremely dangerous. These methods have served me well for a decade. Remember to wear gloves to prevent frostbite.
