Maybe effectiveness of de-icers (more water content?) has deteriorated. In recent years I've not found one which actually de-ices and just freezes on contact with the screen/glass. Doesn't seem to make any difference whether you buy cheap or familiar branded e.g. Carplan to name just one.
So you're not alone.0 -
Try taking it back to the shop, tell them its not fit for the purpose. Or else, does it have a customer services address on the can? Write to them.0

I normally buy cheap ones from Wilkos or Asda and havent had any problems with them, I have found though that I actually prefer the squirty sort rather than an aerosol type if you know what I mean!Weight Loss - 102lb0

hhmmm yes, know what you mean, I got through most of a can this morning on my screen. I began to think peeing on it would be better (actually, it would wouldnt it?) more eco friendly than aerosols too!!0

I find a large piece of plastic placed across windscreen and shut inside the doors really good and it was free

Thanks. I think that all de-icers must be a con. Even the 'industrial ones' at work are not much better.NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!0

I never bother with de-icer. Just buy a decent scraper and use some good old fashioned elbow grease
That method doesn't leave your windows all smeary either. I hate smeary windows!Here I go again on my own....0 -

LOL. Brilliant post. If the Rhino doesn't de-ice your windscreen then the steam from your ears surely will.DFW Nerd 0350
