De-icer

(1/3) > >>

stealthwolf:
Given that my old fezza was, well, old and mostly parked outdoors, I had to use de-icer spray a fair bit during winter. But the ED30 is parked in the garage at home pretty much all the time.

Left it out tonight because I wasn't sure whether I'd need to pop to the supermarket to buy a few things for supper (decided against it) and went to park the car. Ice all over the windows.

Parked the car anyway despite the front window frozen over because all I had to do was open the garage door and reverse in a straight line. But if the car was out on the street, or frozen overnight because of night-shifts, what's the best thing to do?

I worry about scrapers causing damage, plus there's a lot of effort involved, which is crap in this weather. Is there a safe de-icer spray I can use that won't damage the paintwork/rubber etc?

MongyUk:
Not sure I use my driving licence!! bends to the screen quite well!! Seriously though I didnt know that de-icer damages rubber etc??!

Greeners:
A decent scraper shouldn't damage your car stealth, and by the time youv'e finished scraping you'll be warm  :wink: Bonus!

I never have and never will spray de-icer on my car.

MongyUk:
why is this though??  :rolleye: am I missing something? or is it like putting a brolly up indoors??

Greeners:
Those chemicals can not be good for a well cared for and well waxed piece of paintwork. It can't do the rubbers and plastic much good either  :surprised:
