Get the Amazing Windscreen Anti-freezing Device in here. 10% discount for OCUK members

How many of you get the ol ice scraper out in the mornings to clear your windscreen?

On my estate (new build rather than chavo), all of them get the ice scraper out in the mornings and scrape away with the windscreen on defrost for 10/15 mins using up petrol/electricity/elbow grease etc.

I'm the only person who just throws a cloth (I think it was a old table cloth once) over my windscreen at night, and in the morning, I just pull off the cloth and I'm ready to go with a frost free windscreen / rear screen. The heavier the cloth, the better. Then when I get back from work, I just throw the cloth over the windscreen again, and I'm ready for the next day.

Why doesn't anyone else do this?

So, in bid to help out any of the uninformed, I'm going to be selling some old rags *cough* I mean, Amazing Anti Freezing Windscreen Device (TM) for the bargain price of £49.99 + £4.95 P&P (10% discount for OCUK members) so you can prevent your windscreen freezing over every morning!

Send me your cash at [email protected]

Please feel free to email me the exact make and model of your car for fitting/size purposes.

Disclaimer: seller does not warrant that any rag/cloth supplied will not have old stains on them. Even if buyer supplies make/model of car, buyer will only receive whatever old rag/spare piece of cloth that's hanging about in my garage, bottom of the cupboard etc

Ill take 10!

I use pre-icer.

Are the stains smelly? If so, are they good smells?!

I'm told a piece of carpet/cardboard works better, as rags/sheets tend to freeze up themselves and end up damp by the time they thaw.

Heated windscreens ***, though.

What about the inside of my screen? it ices up near enough as the same as the outside!

On this subject, my 15 year old volvo manages to clear it's windscreen in a matter of minutes? So I can only assume most modern cars can also do this?

MikeHiow · 19 Dec 2010 at 01:00

Neil, My VXR used to do that if it was really cold, as it used to quite commonly suffer from heavy condensation/mist on the inside. I used some Fog-X on the inside which stopped the fogging/condensation, and thus helped stop the freezing up.

-Neil- · 19 Dec 2010 at 01:58

Might have to give that a try

I like the scraping ice sound?

:confused:

I use an old Greenhouse Electric Heater with a Thermostatic switch mounted on plywood and left on the back seat or in the boot, clear windows and a toasty interior too! Only downside is the faffing about with an extension lead if you need to rush out somewhere.

i remember when i thought it would be a good idea to put newspaper on my window to stop it freezing, next day i thought i would pull it off easily, took ages to get bits offrozen wet paper from the windscreen

I use a cloth on the front screen - saves a lot of time.

Minstadave · 19 Dec 2010 at 09:40

I just bung an old towel over, works fine and freezes solid.

iaind · 19 Dec 2010 at 09:58

15 minutes? You've got to be doing something wrong if it takes that long.

Takes about 2 minutes and I'm not a big girls blouse so its never bothered me

PinkFloyd · 19 Dec 2010 at 09:59

I just poor lukewarm water over the windows

Same here. The last thing I'd want is a stinky damp rug in my car.

Aye, I just use my deicer spray the night before and just put a fine mist on the screen, works a treat.

Mmmmm.....I did see a cloth some brown stains on it the other day. But just treat any stain/smell as a 'surprise' when the product arrives - it is after all, Christmas!

Probably a water leak somewhere in your car. Speak to a mechanic. Or a buy a dehumidifier from B&Q!

Sorry, I've got a patent pending on that. You try bringing that to the mass market and I'm going sue!

Okay, you can have one for half price.

That's why my Amazing Windscreen Anti-Freezing Device (TM) is much better - my R&D department have developed the molecules of the material in such a way that it naturally creates a thin insulating layer of air between the cloth and the windscreen. No sticking guaranteed!

The problem is that is that in sub-zero temperatures, any water you've poured onto your windscreen freezes 500 yards down the road, which means you need the whole 'car running for 10 mins' to defrost thing going first.

Save on spray and buy the device instead!
