Best scraper about, nice an flexable follows the curve of the glass
well.

That way you remove H20 from the car, rather than adding it,which
surely isnt what you want.


Quite. Those using even warm water obviously don't have decent frosts.
I've had the aerosol squirty stuff freeze on the windscreen before now
and frequently go very thick. Scraping cars with -10C air temp and
probably another 5 or 10 lower on the glass is not my idea of fun even
with gloves on.

So out of bed 10 minutes early, start the engine and get scraping!


Naw, out a few minutes early start the engine press demist button,
note change in engine note as the front and rear heated screens come
on. Couple of minutes later just wipe the melted frost off with the
wipers. B-)
