Vehicle owners who live in snowy areas know all too well the challenges of driving in winter weather and keeping their vehicles cleared of ice and snow. If you’re one such vehicle owner, you’re probably well aware that ice and snow can wreak havoc on your vehicle, corroding and eating away at both its paint and underside.
That’s why you must take time to remove snow and ice from your car before you go for a winter drive. Fortunately, it’s not that complicated. There are easy ways of ensuring that your automobile remains free from all sorts of harmful winter elements. Below are five of them:
- Invest in a windshield cover.
Windshield covers are there to protect the glass of your car from ice and snow. They often come with magnets or straps so they can stay in place during windy winter days. Investing in one is a decision you won’t regret.
- Use an ice scraper.
An ice scraper is essential for quickly and easily removing layers of thick ice and snow on your car. Look for one with an ergonomic handle and a durable blade for the best results. Use vertical strokes and push the accumulation gently down and off the car. Also, bear in mind that the smooth side is for clearing frost while the ridged side is for getting ice off the windshield.
- Keep snow brushes in the car.
Snow brushes are great for removing light layers of snow from your car quickly and safely. Choose one that has soft bristles so you don’t damage your car paint.
- Cover your car with a tarp.
Place a large tarp over your automobile when it’s parked outside especially if you’re leaving your vehicle parked for a long time. Doing so will help minimize the amount of snow and ice that will land on your car.
- Use a de-icing spray.
De-icing sprays can be used to make your windshield and windows easier to clean. Plus, they can help ensure that you have a clear view of the road ahead even in wintry conditions.
By following these simple tips, you won’t have any trouble clearing your car of ice and snow this winter!
Share the Warmth of Your Compassion with the Needy Vets in Your Area
The winter season is much colder and lonelier for our retired servicemen and servicewomen who are grappling with tough challenges. We’re talking about those who are homeless and impoverished, those who are unable to find decent jobs, and those suffering from service-connected disabilities, and serious illnesses, including mental health conditions.

We’ll put your vehicle up for auction, with the proceeds going to our veteran-focused nonprofit partners. Like us, these IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofits are dedicated to serving disadvantaged and struggling veterans.
