Tips & Warnings
If the sun is shining, allow the car to sit outside with the sun directly on the glass to heat it up. Or put your vehicle in the garage after driving it for several minutes; this will heat the air in the garage.
Make sure the glass and mirrors are clean before applying the mixture.
Do not do this outside when the temperature is below freezing, or the glass may crack.
Do not use hot water.

I find if I treat it with RainX prior to the snow and ice, it is easier to remove any stuck on frost/ice than if untreated. Be sure you do it before it gets too cold (below 40F)or it will just make a mess of the windshield that is harder to remove than the frost and ice! -

I've always used shaving cream. The white foam kind, not the gel. Put that foam on a rag and wipe down. It really works well on motorcycle face shields.

If your windscreen is held in using a rubber seal (not a glued or bonded windscreen), take great care when removing the cover. It is possible to pull the windscreen out of it's aperture if the cover has frozen to it and you pull too hard.
