It's frosty out. Yes my defroster is on, but it takes a while to get going. My scraper isn't cutting it, and I need something that quickly and easily removes frost from my windshield, driver's side window, and rear.
Any tool recommendations? |

| Ice scraper. Or you can buy a cover thingy that has magnets to hold it on, goes over the entire windshield and part of the hood. Just pull it off in the morning. |

What do you mean your scraper isn't cutting it? Do you need a new one? I've never had an ice scraper that did not actually scrape the ice, so I'm confused by your problem.
Get an ice scraper with a long handle. That solves a lot of problems too. |

| Get a new scraper. Plastic scrapers get beat up pretty quickly and then don't really have a smooth edge to scrape the ice. |

I have the cone kind and it works really well. Bought it years ago at a flea market. Highly recommend. It’s easy to hold onto and clears a large area quickly.

Cover your windshield with cardboard each night
And hopefully you'll get a new ice scraper in your stocking |

| Squirting a bit of windshield wiper fluid helps, but after the car has been running and only to supplement the defroster. |

I have a 3 year old plastic scraper. It helps get some off, but not quickly or efficiently. Can you recommend a great one that will last? Like a very specific scraper to buy?

| You need a new one every 2 years. Plastic dulls. |

That is what I do if the ice on the windshield is relatively thin. I spray wiper fluid generously and use the wipers to scrape the ice off. Takes 5 sec. This however fogs up the windshield so you would have to keep spraying and running wipers now and then for maybe a few minutes. |
