what to spray on my windshield when frozen

just another day in paradise
I remember them days plowing 95
from Newburyport to Danvers
in a convoy me with a 2 stick quad box
you would think with 16 speeds I could have found a gear to stay in line without shifting
but nooooooooo

 

And don't forget those mirrors and lights that end up frozen too. And the On-Guard systems that are on the front of the truck.

 

partial to Rubin alkeyhol meself--I also add a tad of dishwasher soap--helps w/salt buildup---NOTICE I said a TAD 2/3 drops per bottle of Fluid--anymore it will Foamup and u will hate me--fair warnin --LOL

 

I just got a mental picture of what that would look like. LOL.

I've been using Simple Green in my reservoir in summer for years with great results. Haven't tried it in winter yet.

 

Two sticks, you are old! I do danvers to waltham. this dump pete is a good one. 300 M-11 cummins E.F. 10 S. Can't even feel over loaded at 43k of sand. money is great

 

There are many methods....


Preventative....Use rain x on your window to make it more slippery.
If its cold enough to idle run your defrost

When you wake up in the morning...They sell deicer sprays, but non really work. Best is to buy one of those hot air blowers that plugg into your cigarette lighter to warm the window. If all else fails, there is the age old ice scrapers. Make sure your window washer fluid works. if not, it is most likly frozen in the exposed hose. Remove hose and take in truck. After a few min you should be able to blow slushy fluid out.

When driving...Make sure you buy deicing window washer fluid. I am a fan of rainx. It doesnt really deice, but will nock ice loose enough for your wipers and wont freeze in the lines. It is a little more expensive, but wee talking the difference of 2 or 4 /gallon. keep defrost on. (even if ice clears) Spray washer fluid as needed to keep the slush from freezing.

 

ok lets everyone hate onto olhand
but my windshield is clean

 

Richter- with all that has been said thats why inside window heaters are the best. I wish I could remember the co that makes them. Mike

 

Well I've always used urine...

... but safety wrote me up for climbing on the hood...

 

It is a pita to apply, but if done right, its amazing for a month or so...the bugs slide off to
