Frosty windows

This sort of thing makes my blood boil, why are they so lazy that they cant spare 2 minutes to clean the windows, the side windows on this car haven't even been touched. Evil or Very Mad

its a joke really that people do this, i woke to find the garden frosty, that obviously means my car window is too

but mine had defrosted by the time i went to work

My wifes car had too, but she doesn't have heated screen, so yesterday I cleaned the inside of her window and applied a layer of Car Pro fog fight, so in the damp days the window is not misted up on the inside, so she can scrap the ice off outside and be on her way without waiting to demist inside

little bit streaky, once on but worth it for the time saved at 6 in the morning Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

chill out dude de-stress.

think of happy things,, roast chicken roast potatoes and that sort of contentment


I had a moment of rage yesterday, took the kids to the flicks, on leaving we walked across the near deserted carpark when a knob in an Audi screamed in at possibly 50 mph, zoomed straight past us without even a safety swerve and parked in the disabled.

We had limited words about it before he took his own kids out of the car and dashed into the flicks, he showed no guilt just laughed.
I was briefly tempted to get the side cutters out of my tool kit and snip off his valves all four

Then my faith in human decency was restored when a chap held the door of McD's open for us then gave up his place in the queue as I had two little kids dragging on my arms. top bloke Thumbs Up

Absolutely.
Totally irresponsible and not unique to the UK - it happens here as well. A swift call to the police will have them pulled over and a hefty fine circa £140 in our Kantone.

It takes barely 5 mins to clear all windows, there's no excuse really you can get scrapers for less than a £1. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

npinks, I tried that CarPro Fogfight, it was fine until driving at night, under glare from headlights it was appalling. Potentially this is down to improper application but I had several attempts and never got it right. I ended up removing it from the front and rear screens, but left it on the side windows as it does a good job on those.

i have had fun in the past before, but it wasn't too bad this time round, MF and 3M window cleaner, heated the screen up for a while, then the small suede application with foam bar, then used the little foam bar and the suede cloth to removed after leaving the screen to heat up again to cure, using vertical motions as i found these were less streaky and they looked ok when the window was pointing into the sun Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
