How to Solve Frost on the Windshield?

Here are the solutions for frost on the windshield: 1. Manual Physical De-icing: Prepare a hard plastic scraper or a dedicated glass frost scraper. When there is snow or ice on the glass, use the plastic scraper or glass frost scraper to remove it. However, when removing snow and ice, be careful not to scratch the glass. Do not scrape back and forth; instead, push in the same direction. 2. Chemical De-icing: There is currently a spray de-icer available on the market, which is a high-speed anti-ice spray concentrate specifically designed to thaw frozen car windows and wipers. It does not damage the car's surface and prevents re-freezing and dirt accumulation. It easily removes snow and ice while also preventing the windshield and water accumulation areas from freezing again, leaving the glass clean and streak-free. 3. Maintain Consistent Temperature Inside and Outside the Car: After using the car, do not lock it immediately. Instead, open the doors to ventilate and wait until the interior temperature drops to match the outside temperature (about one minute). Then, turn on the power and use the wipers to brush off the snow and water on the windshield. Close the doors and lock the car.

Frost on the windshield is quite common in winter. I usually start by gently scraping off the surface ice with a dedicated ice scraper, being careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid scratching the glass. Then, I start the car and turn on the heater, setting it to the windshield mode, waiting for five to ten minutes to let the warm air melt the remaining frost. For prevention, I make it a habit to cover the glass with a thick cloth or car cover when parking to block moisture, or choose to park in an underground garage to minimize exposure. Remember, never pour hot water on it—the sudden temperature change can easily cause the glass to crack. I once tried it and nearly had an accident, so now I strictly use tools. Safety comes first; don’t rush to drive until the windshield is completely clear, as blurred vision poses a high risk.

As a new driver, I was completely panicked the first time I encountered frost on my windshield. Later, I learned to use a defrosting spray—just spray and wipe, simple and quick. I recommend keeping a spray in your car or buying a rubber scraper for manual cleaning. When parking, I try to find a covered spot or use an old blanket to cover the windshield as a preventive measure. A friend taught me to use the edge of a credit card to scrape ice, but you have to be careful not to damage the card—professional tools are more reliable. Always leave an extra ten minutes in the morning to deal with frost, and never rush when driving. Safety comes first.

Frost forms due to the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car combined with moisture condensation. To prevent it, I ventilate the car by opening windows before parking to reduce humidity, or use waterproof car covers on the glass. When defrosting, start the engine and turn on the heating system, setting the temperature to the highest to blow on the front windshield. Avoid using metal tools to scrape to prevent damage. Regularly check the heating equipment to ensure efficient operation. Simple tools like plastic scrapers can do the job safely and easily.
