Autoglym De-Icer, 500ml - Fast Acting Car De-Icer Spray Made with Water-free Formula to Quickly Clear Frost, Ice or Snow Without Re-freezing

Product Information

Prestone are a highly reputable brand in the UK and they are well-known for their premium products. Their Rapid De-Icer is a great example and it’s able to melt ice down to -40 and it works in seconds. The brand themselves even state that no other de-icer on the market works faster than their formula. The one other thing it won’t save you from is a completely snowed-over windscreen. For those instances where you’ll need a set of snow chains, a full-on snow brush will be a more useful bet.

Dirty windscreens can be annoying at best, downright dangerous at worst, distracting you from the road ahead and even partially obscuring approaching hazards. It’s also that bit easier for your screen to become utterly filthy as autumn gives way to winter and the roads get dirtier, so all the more reason to invest in a bottle of one of the unsung heroes of the Autoglym range, Ultimate Screenwash. Once you’re in, please give the car time to heat up inside too. It might take ten minutes or more until your heater is pumping out hot air but it’s worth waiting because you risk the inside of the car steaming up as you drive along if you don’t. Another popular de-icer by CarPlan and also one of the cheapest on the market is their Blue Star aerosol formula. According to the brand, it’s specifically designed to defrost windscreens and melt ice fast. Below is a list of the best car de-icers that are suitable for all glass and work in temperatures as low as -50.

Let the ice thaw before removing any remaining deposits with a squeegee blade or windscreen wipers. The de-icers super-concentrated, water-free formula will not harm any vehicle surface, so you’re free to get trigger-happy creating more than just a tiny porthole to peer through until the car warms up. All you’ve got to do is remember to think ahead by keeping the product at home and not leave it in the car! Some people swear by an aluminium foil windscreen cover. I’m not convinced, but if you got one you might as well use it. A: There is no need to dilute Autoglym De-Icer. Simply spray directly onto any icy glass work on the vehicle and watch the De-Icer actively melt this away. Overall, the Polar De-Icer does exactly what it says on the tin and it’s a fast and effective way at removing frost or ice. It isn’t the cheapest but it’s a high quality option that won’t disappoint.

You can also spray the outside of your windows with a night-before de-icer. The idea is to leave a thin film over the glass that protects and prevents it icing up in the first place. I’ve tried it and it really does work. Autoglym’s Polar Series products are designed to speed up the car-cleaning process by letting the pH-neutral chemicals do most of the hard work and minimise the risk of us unintentionally contaminating the precious surface finish with swirls and scratches. Make sure you’re well prepared for the worst winter weather with Autoglym Ultimate Screenwash and De-Icer’ Not only is Autoglym Screenwash suitable for use with all vehicle and wash jet types (including headlight washers), it has been proven to shift all common contaminants and will not freeze down to -45oC, a temperature so cold that (in the UK at least) we rather feel that you’ll have bigger problems to worry about than a clean screen! Autoglym De-Icer is also supremely versatile and cost-effective thanks to its highly concentrated nature. It might appear small, but the 500ml bottle it’s supplied in can make up to 8L of screenwash, while its concentrated nature means that the precise strength is entirely in the hands of the end user, you. You can adjust the concentration to suit the demands of the season or the amount of grime currently on your screen. A: There is no need to dilute Autoglym De-Icer.
