To deice your windshield
Turn off the car's engine and remove the key. Place a large thick cloth--an old pair of sweatpantrs will do--across the windshield. Pour a pint of commercial de-icer onto the cloth. Allow to sit for five to ten minutes. Check the ice to make sure it's melting. Scrape off the ice with an ice scraper. Store the clothing in a trash bag ready for disposal or to reuse in the future.
