Ice can be a real pain to get off your car. But there are a few simple tricks you can use to avoid using a scraper.

  1. Use a hairdryer. Heat up the air around the ice until it starts to melt, then use the hairdryer to break it up.
  2. Use boiling water. Pour boiling water onto the ice and wait about two minutes before scraping it off with a scraper.
  3. Use a vacuum cleaner with the hose attachment fitted. Put the car in neutral and turn on the vacuum cleaner hose attachment, then wait until the ice has melted before scraping it off with a scraper. ..
