Autoglym’s Polar Series products are designed to speed up the car-cleaning process by letting the pH-neutral chemicals do most of the hard work and minimise the risk of us unintentionally contaminating the precious surface finish with swirls and scratches.
Dirty windscreens can be annoying at best, downright dangerous at worst, distracting you from the road ahead and even partially obscuring approaching hazards. It’s also that bit easier for your screen to become utterly filthy as autumn gives way to winter and the roads get dirtier, so all the more reason to invest in a bottle of one of the unsung heroes of the Autoglym range, Ultimate Screenwash. Now scrape and repeat squirting as often as necessary until all your windows are free of snow and ice. Please don’t just clear a letter box-sized space on the windscreen and peer through it like a WWII tank commander. It’s dangerous and illegal and just makes you look silly. By the way, an ice-scraper should only be used on glass, never the metal bodywork of the vehicle.
We value your privacy
When the temperature drops during winter, our natural inclination is to stay indoors and keep warm. But there are occasions when it is necessary to escape outside into the fresh air; one of these occasions is giving your car a clean to protect it from what the UK winter tries to throw at it.
The only two things you really need are a decent de-icer and a window scraper. I prefer a pump-action bottle of de-icer because then I’m not paying for any propellant but I’m notoriously tight-fisted and you may prefer the ease of use you get with an aerosol.
Overall, the Polar De-Icer does exactly what it says on the tin and it’s a fast and effective way at removing frost or ice. It isn’t the cheapest but it’s a high quality option that won’t disappoint. Below is a list of the best car de-icers that are suitable for all glass and work in temperatures as low as -50. The Best De-Icer Speaking of frozen rubber, a thin smear of silicone lubricant or Vaseline on the door seals will help stop them freezing up. Done properly, you should only have to do it once or twice a season.

Don’t forget to brush all the snow away from the door openings. If you forget then the snow will fall inside the car when you open the door. If you’ve treated yourself to a proper snow-clearing brush then now’s the time to christen it, but a soft-bristled dustpan brush will do the job just as well. Some people swear by an aluminium foil windscreen cover. I’m not convinced, but if you got one you might as well use it. While there is no specific law that says it is illegal to drive with snow on your car, the Highway Code and the Road Traffic Act say you must, by law, be able to see out of every glass panel in your vehicle. You also want to make sure your lights, indicators and number plates are all visible too. With extensive research this product is harmless to vehicle paintwork, rubber, plastics and glass yet amazingly still effective all the way down to -50°C! A harsh winter doesn’t mean that we should give up on our car care routine, but it also doesn’t mean we need to spend hours out in the elements to protect our vehicles. With this guide, you will be able to give your car some Autoglym TLC in as little as 15 minutes.Once you’re in, please give the car time to heat up inside too. It might take ten minutes or more until your heater is pumping out hot air but it’s worth waiting because you risk the inside of the car steaming up as you drive along if you don’t. Not only is Autoglym Ultimate Screenwash suitable for use with all vehicle and wash jet types (including headlight washers), it has been proven to shift all common contaminants and will not freeze down to -45°C, a temperature so cold that (in the UK at least) we rather feel that you’ll have bigger problems to worry about than a clean screen! Autoglym Ultimate Screenwash is also supremely versatile and cost-effective thanks to its highly concentrated nature. It might appear small, but the 500ml bottle it’s supplied in can make up to 8L of screenwash, while its concentrated nature means that the precise strength is entirely in the hands of the end user, you. You can adjust the concentration to suit the demands of the season or the amount of grime currently on your screen. Autoglym De-Icer works best when heavy snow deposits have been removed beforehand, whereupon its unique formulation can get to work. Let the ice thaw before removing any remaining deposits with a squeegee blade or windscreen wipers. There are few more dispiriting feelings than stepping out of your house on a crisp, cold winters’ morning, only to find that your car has been almost entirely encased in ice and frost! Freeing your car from winter’s grip can be both time-consuming and bone-chilling, neither of which are exactly ideal when you’re about to set off on a morning commute! If that sounds familiar, Autoglym have you very well covered with its ‘winter twins,’ Autoglym Ultimate Screenwash and De-Icer. You could also use neat screenwash if you’ve got some to hand. Just try not to splash too much on the bodywork; it shouldn’t stain, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
