Just found this out this morning. Turns ice to water.

Must be the alcohol or something..

I normally use cold water.. Cold like.. not luke warm.. and I start the car with the aircondition on full whack.

Lots of cold water has it gone in a jiffy. it's cold...but it's not frozen at least

yea id say the alcohol alright. I was parked in a carpark for a few hours with no water to hand, so just gave it a bash with a cd case and was on my way in 2minutes

problem is your car smells like a spotty teenager for the day

I start it from the bedroom before I get into the shower and she automatically turns off after 15 mins or so with all the ice defrosted and nice warm car inside.

If in a hurry or the battery gone dead in the remote then I use warm water, dont see the risk as long as its not too hot. Cold water just refreezes, and takes too long to take the ice off.

A credit card works wonders as a makeshift ice scraper....

Boiling water, way quicker. Don't worry if you hear some cracking noices, that's quite normal..

When I first say the lynk cans, I thought you were gonna suggest one of these also..

In case someone out there doesn't get the joke - DON'T USE BOILING WATER TO CLEAR ICE FROM YOUR WINDSCREEN!

Warm water will do just fine...

Yea I didnt have a lighter to hand, lucky I dont smoke could have been a potential disaster

Question - is Lynx cheaper than de-icer spray?
