Things You'll Need:
- De-icing Solution
- Ice Scraper Or A Credit Card
-
Step 1
Turn on the car. Put the defroster on the hottest setting and turn on the air conditioner (many modern cars automatically engage the air conditioner when you turn on the defroster).
-
Step 2
Set the defroster fan to low.
-
Step 3
Brush snow off the windshield.
-
Step 4
Spray de-icing solution on the windshield. (You can make your own de-icing solution--a mixture of half water and half vinegar.)
-
Step 5
Scrape the ice off the outside of the windshield using an ice scraper or, in a pinch, a credit card.

on 1/30/2009 I don't recommend using a credit card, unless you no longer use it. I have broken numerous cards doing this. Use a membership card or something you don't really care about losing.
