We've all been there. You're running late for work, only to be greeted by a thick layer of ice on your car windscreen. Panic suddenly hits you and you're thinking 'how on earth am I going to shift this AND make it on time for my meeting?'.
You've heard it a thousand times before, never put boiling water on your car windscreen but you think to yourself 'it can't be that bad, why don't I just risk it this once'. Reality, washes over and you realise risking cracking your screen will cause a lot more problems than simply being a bit later for work.
So now you’re on Plan B: frantically searching for your trusty ice scraper. Only it’s nowhere to be found. You’re kicking yourself for ignoring that great deal on scrapers at your local supermarket last week. Desperate, you grab your debit card—the next best thing, right?
Fast forward 15 minutes, and you’ve finally cleared the ice…sort of. Your fingers are frozen, your debit card is chipped, and you’ve added a few new scratches to your windscreen. Not exactly the best start to your morning.
Sound familiar? According to Allianz insurance 'So far in 2024, the insurer spent an average of £327 per windscreen claim, which has risen from £308 in 2022, a difference of £19.' People are still choosing to risk damaging their vehicles for a 'quick solution' that ironically will cost you more time and money!
The truth is de-icing your car doesn't have to be timely, you just need a reliable and good quality de-icer. They show results in just 30 seconds and don't add any extra scratches!
Try Cleenol's de-icer and take control in the colder mornings - Autocleen | Autocleen De-Icer. It's even effective in temperatures as low as -10°c. For the best results, spray the de-icer and wipe with windscreen wipers / rubber squeegee.
