An ice preventative?

[Busterboo]

There's only room under the house for one car, so the wife's Fiesta has to stay outside. This morning, I watched the poor dear struggling to de-ice it. Is there a product I can buy for her to put on her windows to stop them icing up, please?

A lightweight car cover would prevent ice forming.
Frost covers for windshields work well.
room temp water clears ice quickly. Never use warm/hot water for obvious reasons.
If you don't care about the environment then there are a million and three spray products to choose from.

Edit:
Also: you getting up off your lazy arse to go out there and help her.
:x :lol:

Good of you to 'watch the poor dear'.
I find the best product to help clear the wife's windscreen is a caring helper. :roll:

But this is a manly forum, mainly for manly men with miserly misgivings and mangled manners, indifferent to the maintenance and care of meek maidens.
:lol:

You're missing my point Chris.
Sooner the car is clear the sooner the earache stops. :roll:

Two great products come to mind: one is chivalry, the other is gallantry. Best thing since sliced bread. Try it. If it doesn’t work, I’ll give your money back.

Yesterday being our wedding anniversary, I went to Halford's to treat the wife to some 'pre-icer'. They had none. Completely out. They did have, though, one last 'kit' of pre-icer/de-icer/coolant additive/screenwash/chammy & scraper, all in a plastic bag for £13, which I thought was good value and which looked a bit like a present anyway.

So, last night before bed, I told her how to pre-ice the windows, squirt de-icer in the door locks and lent her my quilted coat. Sure enough, this morning, after a -4 degree night, she went out again and the windows were clear enough to drive and none of the doors were stuck. She didn't seem wildly pleased, though. Mind you, you can never tell with women.

Funny creatures aren't they?

I once complimented a lady in a very hot night club by remarking she didn’t sweat much for a fat bird, got walloped with a handbag for some weird reason.

Can't even pull a fat bird.
Q'uel surprise.

I’ll be needing that refund chap

My other half is immune

I leave the fat birds to guys with zero personality/looks/charm etc like yourself.

I’ll take a fat bird over nothing at all, which is probably what it is in your case.

Unlike your mates, my fiancée is not imaginary. :roll:

U sure about that fella?
Well, you’re not the first weirdo to marry his rubber sex doll. I’m sure you won’t be the last.

And having met her I can confirm this and also the fact she is indeed a real life human being and not rubber or latex

Her sanity may be in question but definitely not any of the other points made :lol:

Excellent choice, I reckon. She is lucky to have you IMO.

I bought my wife a set of car mats for Christmas in about 1998 for her Escort. She still tells people about it. I'm not sure if that's because it was the best present, or the worst. TBH I'm not really bothered which.
She's got a real treat this year, though. A new set of saucepans! I know it's extravagant but I quite like her really. :wink:

[ref]Argyll Andy[/ref], I think Chris is just projecting his own insecurities mate, he deserves our pity really.

You're on a winner there, mate. Saucepans never failed with my first wife.

p.s. I was impressed this morning how well the pre-icer had worked on a well-under-zero night.

I’m just staggered that any of you lot have partners, or do you all live in Stepford

When we moved house in 2005 our "new" house was in a bit of a state so I did a bit of shopping in Woolworths. Among other things I bought 3 toilet-brushes and the girl on the till asked me why 3, and for some reason I said it was our wedding anniversary!

Mrs Tidy has her own address now. :lol:
