Yes a couple of years back... Wasn't that impressed and the tin still sits nearly full in the workshop.

I've tried it and it does work. Instead of frost you're left with a layer of dew that can be flicked away with the wipers. Only problem is remembering to apply it the night before...

Night before De-icer, you're better off covering the screen with a plastic sheet, old blanket or cardboard.

Yes, its a load of rubbish. I remember trying this years ago. I sprayed it on the night before as per the instructions and woke in the morning to find hardly any ice had formed on the other cars but the de-icer I applied had frozen solid.

Not recommended at all!

Besides, the thing that takes time to clear for me is the mist on the inside of the windscreen. I can clear the outside in 15 secs.

Yup. Prevention is better than a cure.

personally I always get a jug of lukewarm water, pour over the screen with the wipers on and her presto its all clear in a matter of seconds. Did that this morning and as I went down my street so all those folks with scrapers, de icers etc struggling away.....

p.s got to make sure the water aint boiling otherwise as my dad discovered years ago, ur gonna hear a crackling sound and then.....
