How can I melt ice that has built up on my car?

Community Answer

Natural sunlight is the best tool for melting ice. If possible, wait for the sun to warm up your car. You can also start your car and turn on the heat and defrosters, which will help the ice to melt. If the ice is on the windshield or windows, use an ice scraper to remove it. If it has built up on other parts of your car, you can use the palm of your hand to smack the area which should cause the ice to crack. Do not use hot water or salt on the car, as hot water will crack the glass and salt will damage the paint.
