I bought stuff from Halfords - it didn't de ice my windows either

ICE Buster ice scraper from halfords is what you need, Dont bother with de icer after all you still have to scrape anyway.

if you scrape the ice off the water content is gone.

I use a scraper too, it looks like a crocodile, so had a mitten attached to it. Trouble is, occasionally there is that real hard ice which won't scrape, as opposed to the frost.

Tesco one works ok.

I've scratched too many windows doing that.
Got a heated front screen now though.

On a related note , anyone ever use night-time de-icer ? You spray it on your windows at night so they arent icy on the morning . I bought Halfords stuff a few years ago and it was great , but I bought some recently and it did diddly-squat !

I recon we are getting conned. A lot of de-icers contain too much non de-icing stuff.
