FAQs
How quickly does the Liqui Moly Windscreen De-Icer work?
It works quickly, typically melting ice and frost within seconds to a minute of application, depending on the thickness of the ice.
Do I need to wipe the ice away after spraying?
Yes, after spraying and allowing the de-icer to act for a short period, you should remove the loosened ice and frost using a squeegee or your vehicle's wipers.
Can this product damage my car's paint?
When used as directed, it is safe for automotive paint. However, avoid excessive overspray and rinse any accidental major contact with water.
What should I do if the nozzle gets blocked?
If the nozzle becomes blocked, gently clean it with a damp cloth. Do not use sharp objects that could damage the nozzle.
Can this be used on headlights or plastic trim?
It is primarily designed for glass windows. While it may not harm plastic trim, it's best to use products specifically designed for those materials and to avoid prolonged contact.
Does it prevent ice from forming again immediately?
Yes, the formula contains agents that help prevent immediate re-icing after the ice has been removed.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place and kept sealed, the product typically maintains its effectiveness for several years. Refer to the can for any specific expiry date information.
Troubleshooting
De-icer is not spraying.
Ensure the nozzle is not set to 'STOP'. Check if the nozzle is blocked and clean if necessary with a damp cloth. Ensure the can is held upright during spraying.
Ice is not melting completely.
Allow the de-icer to sit for the recommended time (30-60 seconds) before attempting removal. For very thick ice, a second application may be required.
Product leaves streaks after application.
Ensure all loosened ice and residue is completely removed with a clean squeegee or cloth. Wipe the window again with a clean, dry cloth if necessary.
