I seen it in the pound shop so bought a tin, it clears my windscreen what it does to the paint I could care less about tbh but there's no visible effect.

If I had a decent car I'd probably change my opinion.

Chemicals.

You're the type of guy that would go out and treat your windows at night so give that a bash. 3 parts vinegar to 1 part water sprayed over the windscreen.

Your not covering your paint in it though? You spray your windscreen and it dissolves the ice and scrape it off, ice / deicer gets wiped away with wipers or scraped off
