The solutions for frost on car windows in the morning are: 1. Turn on the external circulation to heat the windows; 2. Pour a cup of hot water and wipe the frosted areas; 3. Cover the windows with a newspaper after parking at night; 4. Activate the air conditioning defrost mode; 5. Clean the windows with dishwashing liquid; 6. Remove the interior heat before parking at night. The functions of car windows are: 1. Shelter from wind and rain, and reduce noise; 2. Reduce wind resistance and guide airflow; 3. Protect the safety of passengers. The maintenance methods for car windows are: 1. Use dedicated or suitable wiper blades and replace them promptly; 2. Keep the windshield clean; 3. Use automotive-specific glass cleaner.
I usually deal with frost on the windshield the old-fashioned way. First, I start the car and turn on the heater to blow warm air at the glass. While that's working, I grab an old bank card to scrape off the ice. When scraping, pay attention to the angle—push it flat to avoid scratching the glass. After scraping the outside, the inside needs attention too—wipe off the fog with a dry towel, otherwise, you'll be driving blind with a white haze. If the frost is particularly thick, I mix a bit of dish soap with water and spray it to help melt the ice—much safer than pouring hot water directly, as there are plenty of cases where glass cracks from sudden temperature changes. The key is to leave enough time to handle it. Last year, I rushed and only scraped a small window before driving off—almost caused a rear-end collision!
The most cost-effective homemade defrosting spray is made by mixing 500ml of water with two bottle caps of alcohol in a small spray bottle and keeping it in the trunk. Spray it on the frosted areas before heading out in the morning, and the frost will melt away with a sizzle. Then, just scrape it off with an ice scraper, and it's clean. It works better than those expensive de-icers that cost dozens of dollars, and the alcohol evaporates quickly without leaving water stains. Also, don't forcefully pry off frost from the side windows to avoid cracking the rubber seals. Once, my car's window regulator got damaged by frozen ice shards, costing over 300 yuan to repair. Now I've learned my lesson—spraying a bit of alcohol solution in advance gets the job done in just two minutes.
