The most popular method is a plastic window scraper and a spray defroster. You can buy them at any gas station. They are constantly equipped with equipment to combat the winter aura. “The first winter shipment sold out after two days,” says Joanna Gralak, manager of the Shell station. “People have started preparing for winter very quickly this year,” he adds.

Special sprays containing anti-icing liquid are very effective in combating frost. If you spray it on frozen glass, it will be easier and faster to scrape off the ice. An interesting solution is a special thermomat. You can buy it at gas stations. Placed on the windshield, it shouldn't freeze at all.
The coming winter is also a time to be more careful. It is necessary to monitor the condition of the batteries in the car. Better double check that we don't leave the radio on or the lights on. If you leave the car in this way, in the morning it may turn out that the car refuses to obey. Then going to work will be impossible, for example, without the help of another car (you can start it from its battery).
Another common problem is frozen door locks. Often do not want to open up. What then? “An old and proven method is to cover the lock with a disposable foil bag filled with hot water,” Rafal Orkisz, a driver from Wroclaw, tells us.
However, it is better to use a special defroster for locks. They are relatively cheap and widely available. When arranging such specifics for yourself, remember that a car locker is not the best place to store them ...
Once we arm ourselves with defrosting equipment and are careful, winter doesn't have to be terrible. And rid ourselves of morning stress: move or not?
