First time for a few years I've had to scrape today, normally I'll either wait til it's breaking up later in the day or just not use the car but, I was travelling down to my lads near Oxford this morning so had to sort it out.
Did the usual heater, Aircon and scrape. I spotted some de-icer last night in the shed so fired a bit of that on too as I was in a rush, trouble was there wasn't much in it and by the time I was round to the windscreen it was empty....don't like using it normally anyway , always think it'll fuck up the paintwork.
The sun visors tip early in the thread sounds a good idea. I'll try that the next time I need to sort the car out.
