The most durable sealant: ICE!

So, as some of you may know, we had some sleet/freezing rain/snow here in Long Island. Last night it was just some sleet, nothing too hard. Today however, there was a thick layer of ice all over the grounds and, of course, the cars

After the sun came out, the ice came off fairly easily. I obviously didn't touch the paint, I just broke the ice on the windows and the ice just came sliding down by itself.

Too thick on top - nice and thin on the sides!

Wow, that is a LOT of ice. I always worry about ice and it sliding around on the paint, creating marring.

does the polycharged version last longer?

My car was coated in ice.

I just let the sun do its work and came back to safely remove the sliding chunks...I didn't want them to slide over the paint and create marring.

For a second from the title of this thread I was worried that it was going to about TW Ice products being the most durable, which would bring out the Zaino advocates and devolve from there.

I left the ice on the roof of my wagon and the whole thing slid off when I hit the brakes pulling into my driveway. All I could thing about was the paint!!

But it looks like it slid off on a layer of water. I stayed of the parkway today because some SUV's had huge chunks flying off 20 feet into the air and back down!

On a brighter note it was great driving my Subaru Legacy in the ice

haha, thats exactly what I was thinking!

I guess that was no hope of getting in the car that day, huh?

Ive always noticed that people put the wiper blades up before an ice storm, I would worry that it would stretch the springs and they wouldnt apply enough pressure on the windshield. I could be thinking about that to much though.

Nice protection! Excuse my ignorance as I don't have snow, but is it common for people to raise their wipers?
