Does nobody use newspaper any more? park up, wipers on, switch off when neither up nor down (or half way). Lift wipers, lay on newspaper, put down wipers. Also stops wipers freezing to the window.

It will also in no way work if the windows get even slightly damp before freezing. In fact, sometimes it makes it worse since you then have frozen paper stuck to the screenscotsman4th wrote: »Does nobody use newspaper any more? park up, wipers on, switch off when neither up nor down (or half way).

Um, why all the comments assuming everyone has a garage? Not all of are lucky enough to have a garage or driveway! So the hot water/bucket wouldn't work, as would have to lug it up the road!
I spray with a de-icer and then go around with a scraper to finish it off.
