It’s hard enough to roll out of bed and go to work on an icy morning; but having crossed the first hurdle, you stumble out to your car to find it totally sheathed in ice. The windows are icy opaque, the doors are frozen shut and your key won’t go into the lock.

Maybe you have an ice scraper, but you left it the back seat. So you scour the garage for something else that won’t damage the car, finally settling on using your least favorite credit card as a scraper. Ah, tis the season.

Do not despair fellow motorists because help is on the way, and it comes from an aerosol can. Zep De-Icer is an amazingly effective ice melter that blasts your blues away. Begin with a short blast to the keyhole so you can unlock the car. If the door is frozen shut, spray along the door frame to loosen it. Now you’re inside! Back outside, you can spray the windshield and watch the melted ice being swept away by your wipers. It works so fast you’ll wonder how you lived without it all these frozen winters.

Not content with just de-icing your car, Zep De-Icer also prevents parts from freezing; so give the lock a good spray before you put your 4-wheel road warrior away tonight night. The complete line of Zep AutoCare Products is available at your local Home Depot.
