I watched by housemate defrosting his car windscreen using his hands for a good 10 minutes this morning out of my living room window, and boy did he not look to be having fun.
I mean I'm usually a fan of a bit of schadenfreude, but even I felt sorry for the guy. Why didn't he just get one of those scrapers out?
Only he can answer that question. But if like him your banger's heating system isn't up to the job of defrosting your windscreen and unlike him you don't want to wait around scrubbing the frost off, then you might want to take a look at this video from Ken Weathers of Tennessee's WATE 6 News.
The clip shows how you can defrost your car windshield in seconds using products you probably have in your home.

There you have it: two third parts Isopropyl (or rubbing alcohol) and a third parts water mixed together in a spray bottle - then go to town on that ice.

That's a tip and a half.
