I saw the spray cans of de-icer with a scraper attached, but passed on
it. I won't be able to cover enough of the windshield using it to make
an improvement.
I picked up a bottle of Rain-X additive for my fluid. Once my
girlfriend's left for home, I'll run outside and put some of that stuff
in. Between the Rain-X and the SilBlades, I may end up with water never
even touching the windshield, it'll run scared!
