When you’re running late for work, the last thing you want to do is wait 15 minutes for your engine to heat up and your windshield to slowly defrost. While your car’s defroster will eventually get the job done, you can speed up the process by spraying a de-icer on your car’s windows and mirrors. Here are some de-icing sprays that will do the cold work for you.
