Except people should be warming up their cars before driving them in cold weather. Starting a car in cold weather and taking off is horrible for the engine and other components. Engine oil is like tar when its cold and does little to nothing for lubricating when its cold. So which is harder on journal bearings and pistion rings running it at idle for a few minutes to give the oil a chance to circulate and warm up or running it at 3000+ rpm to warm it up. Not to mention from an emissions standpoint a catalytic convertor does nothing until its hot. So again idle at 800 rpm to get it hot or drive imediately at 3000rpm pumping out more raw fuel. Which is another problem when your engine is cold its in open loop. Meaning the computer is adding extra fuel to get the engine to heat up and the 02 sensors arent monitoring until closed loop when it warms up. So while you start it and drive off your puking more unmetered fuel in vs just letting the car warm up.

Here's what we do in New England. We put this mixture of Rubbing Alcohol and Water in our windshield washer fluid tank also (along with a couple drops of blue dish soap). I put a 1-gallon pump sprayer in my wife's car and my truck for the winter and we never have to scrape the windows! Also, fill an old sock with a non-clumping kitty litter and leave it on the back seat, or wherever you want and the inside will not fog up either. Spraying cooking oil onto a paper towel and wiping down the rubber seals on your doors will keep them from getting frozen and stuck. If your car is going to sit awhile lift the wipers and put socks on them until you're ready to go. You can go as far as to cover the windshield with cardboard, or a sheet and tuck the ends in the doors. Then just remove when you're ready to go. I know there are tons of video tips on this stuff. I just wanted to share some of our favorites.

I live in Chicago , I've been using warm water to defrost since the 1970s in every car I've owned and so do many of my friends and neighbors .Never one cracked window in decades of use. One gallon of warm water will melt the ice immediately . Even with the recent 50below zero , the windows don't crack . Tip , start the pour on the windshield wipers to release them because they are usually frozen down , then do the rest of all your windows . Turn on the defrosters , switch the blower vent to use recirculated air and your good to go . The side windows may ice up a little but it is an extremely thin layer that melts quickly with the heat inside your car . I understand the concept of cold to hot causing problems , but in the real world , the cracked windshield is a myth Mr weatherman . Well......unless you use actual boiling scalding water which I've never done . I've googled this and all I've found is that pouring ( Super hot boiling scalding water ) could shatter or crack the window . Nothing about using ( warm water .) Either way , I'll continue the decades of success using warm water . Just use water that is warm to your hand and you'll be fine .

Yes this works but it raises multiple concerns, especially here in Wisconsin where we just had -50 degrees with wind chills: #1. The use of rubbing alcohol will break down rubber overtime there for damaging wiper blades and the seal around the glass. Could cause costly repairs. #2. Even if this did work within seconds you can’t just jump in your car, start it and drive without that car warming up. It’s not going to run very well and then you’d be stuck on the side of the road somewhere. Seen this a lot the last two weeks. #3. Once you do you start the car and you get into it, the first thing the windshields going to do on the inside is frost because of your body heat and moisture getting put in the car. Then your back a square one. The best solution is get a remote start installed and warm your car up for 10 minutes without having to go outside or simply park in a garage.

@acreguy315610 ай бұрын
@@jordanadams5902Agreed. Letting your car warm up is a thing some of us did when cars had carburetors. Today, you start the car, let it idle for 15 seconds or so and go. Just drive it easy until it warms up. The best way to warm up the engine is make it do work - not sit there and idle. If you hate getting into a cold car, dress for the weather!! Remote starters just add to the problems of engine idling. I have an idiot neighbor who starts his truck with a remote starter, let's it idle for *15* minutes so it gets nice and toasty inside, and then drives *10* minutes to work where the truck sits all day!!!

Here is the problem. Even though the ice melts it will freeze right back and you have to reapply the solution until it's completely gone and then after that the inside of your windshield will fog up making you still have to sit there and wait until the heat defogs the windshield. Yes you could wipe off the fog but it will just fog back up bc the heat is not hot enough to evaporate the moisture on the window.

Anti-Freeze doesn't seem to be too harsh on the rubber components (mainly hoses) of the cooling system. Rubbing alcohol is probably harsher on rubber. Just seems to make sense. But I don't have any proof. Again. You get what you pay for. Amazing what some people will risk and endure to save a dollar. Guess they haven't heard that "the love of money is the root of all evil". What will you risk and endure to save that mean green almighty dollar? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYmokKFoppVrj9k

I just put on a cardboard box, using my windshield wipers at half mast to keep it in place. Lift the wipers away from the windshield to put it on and take it off, so it does not damage my wipers. No ice, no scraping, ever. I have used one all my life..cost $1.00... time saved, priceless!

@heathercortes95675 жыл бұрын
Anyone who paid attention in science class in high school should know this. I've been doing it for years. If you live somewhere really cold like the midwest, I do, do NOT add water. I use straight alcohol. Last week it got a little cold, maybe 15°, and the alcohol froze when I sprayed it on. It will break up the thicker ice scale so you can scrape it off. Up to an inch thick. Otherwise you have to do it in longer stages. Once I was really desperate to get the kids to school before rush hour so, I dumped it in the reservoir with the no freeze windshield wash. It smells really bad but works right away. The smell comes through the vents. No matter what you still need to keep a brush scraper in the car. Don't keep the alcohol bottle on there. If your doors are frozen shut spray around the door frame. The chick next door almost broke off the handle trying to get in her car before I sprayed it. Make sure you buy a spray bottle from a hardware store not those crappy dollar stores. I've had the same bottle for three years and, it hasn't failed yet. If it's super cold and the alcohol freezes turn on the windshield wipers and spray it a few more times. If you live some place like Canada this will still work but, make sure the defroster is running full blast while you're driving. The water content in rubbing alcohol right out of the bottle (it's impossible not to have some) will freeze and spread across the window like one of those creepy scifi movies with the sentient alien crystal growing as fast as it can. It took a good ten minutes for it to stop freezing last week while I was driving.

Many many MANY times I've used hot water to defrost icy windshield & side windows. Never ever have I had broken glass. The method is very warm tap water, a 2 quart pitcher of it. I pour it slowly from the top edge of the windshield down & across the windshield. I believe this method avoids a hot splash in the middle of the icy glass unevenly expanding the windshield causing cracks. Again, I've never ever cracked a windshield in multiple cars doing it this way for decades.
