Most store-bought windshield de-ice sprays work well, but they are more expensive than making your own. These steps for quickly defrosting your icy windshield will help you be on your way to your destination quickly.
Homemade De-Icer Spray
Option 1- Isopropyl alcohol and water windshield de-ice spray: Combine two parts 70% isopropyl alcohol and one part water in a spray bottle. Since this liquid has a freezing point of 5 degrees-as opposed to 32 degrees for water-applying this solution to your icy windshield has a fast effect.
Option 2- Saltwater de-icer spray for the car: Pour water into a spray bottle and add a scoop or two of salt. Since salt water has a lower freezing point than fresh water, it starts to melt the ice on contact. Road salt is even more effective than table salt in this recipe.
TIP: No matter what type of de-icer you use, store it at room temperature in your house, not in the trunk of your car.
TIP: Never attempt to remove ice from your car by dumping a bucket of water on it. Warm or hot water could cause the glass to crack due to thermal shock. Even cold water is a bad idea because it could freeze on contact, making your problem even worse.

It was fun riding this short bus. lol
Using the first method ok for tinted windshields?
Nobody uses winter wiper fluid?
my car is almost 20 years old and i gotta say i'm not looking forward to another winter driving it
the heater is sketchy at best and my directional flow is broken so i can't direct the heat on the windshield
and i gotta park outside
Some boiling water from the kettle works great 👍
Can't have iced up windshield with no windshield
I think its not good to use salt water as this will act as a electrolyte medium and will induce corrosion on your car.
Thanks for your input! Rest assured, the salt water method has been tested by our team and works just fine. Stick with option 1 if you're still unsure!
why add dish soap
Warm water throw on turn wipers on job done 👍
Enjoy your cracked windshield
@@jeep4life1994 32 years driving never had 1 yet in winter
@@rambop8925 you have just gotten lucky alot I guess when I was in highschool every one of my friends had a cracked windshield and when I asked them how they de ice there windshield every one of them said they throw hot water on it
@@rambop8925 Likewise, every winter I throw on warm water and have never had a problem.
That's DE-ICING, not DE-FROSTING.
fastest way to defrost is HOT WATER!
Also fastest way to crack a windshield....way to go
Owen G noooo. It is no true!
Ok Poma, because it's not like I've done auto glass for 15 years or anything. You're right
@@owen283 I agree with you. Lukewarm/room temperature water good. Hot water bad.
@@owen283 Great I literally boiled the kettle and poured it all over my windshield earlier today lol. Does it cause any longterm damage or did I get lucky with it not cracking this time?
