To defrost your windshield quickly, follow these steps:
- Start the Car: Turn on your engine and set the heat to the defrost setting, aiming warm air at the windshield.
- Use the Air Conditioner: Activate the air conditioning (even if it’s cold outside) to help dehumidify the air inside the car. This will speed up the defrosting process.
- Turn on the Front & Rear Defroster: Use both the front and rear defrosters to target all windows, especially if there’s fog inside or frost on the rear window.
- Spray a Defrosting Solution: If you have it, apply a defrosting spray (or a mixture of 2 parts rubbing alcohol and 1 part water) directly onto the frost. This works fast to melt the ice.
- Use a Scraper: While the car heats up, gently use an ice scraper to remove as much frost as possible from the windshield. Start from the edges and work your way toward the center.
By combining these techniques, you should have a clear windshield in less than five minutes. Just be cautious not to rush too much with the scraper to avoid damaging the glass.
