Best de-icer?

[wishbone]

Could try and find a 240V block heater (I had a look last year but only found 120V versions) Then just plug in 20 mins before you leave. Not exactly a de-icing solution but would clear the ice within minutes of starting.


I use the warm water method myself.

I always used to have a piece of carpet cut to the same shape as the windscreen & just have the wipers set half way to hold it in place.

As for de-icer, i find that they are all pretty much the same so i just buy the cheapest from a car booty.

buy a volvo v70 cross country.
instant heat the second you turn the key. works off the air con.

I have a preferred method, but that's not related to the question. The question was what is the best de-icer on the market.

Buying a V70, like covering the screen, isn't an option either (even though I can get a very hefty discount and IFC to buy one).

Tell us, I hate de-icing the screen. I wont tip water on it. I do use rain-X but it still gets iced up.

[coolsv650]

What, in your opinions, is the best de-icer on the market? Putting the car in a lock up or covering it aren't options.

whatever Asda sell cheap.... last year was carplan 2 for £2, actually I find the carplan stuff is pretty good, dont seem to use gallons on the screen

[BUSHWHACKER]

Can I just point out that I don't chuck the tepid water straight onto the screen, I pour it onto the roof just above it.

The same principle as pouring boiling water into a glass with a metal spoon in it, the glass doesn't break. The spoon absorbs the heat and expands instead of the glass.

You must have been intrigued because you have read it all & commented.

The OP's question was nothing to do with method. It was asking what the best de-icer on the market was.

[da SLUG man]

heated windscreen!!

if you want de-icer, don't go for the aerosol ones, they're half empty!... go for the trigger spray ones, they last much longer.
