Pre-Icer
LC156From: £5.50
Description
Car-Chem Pre-Icer is a glass coating designed to treat and protect glass from the cold and prevent ice settling on the treated area. Car-Chem Pre-Icer forms the intial barrier to stop ice forming and get you going on those colder days!
How to use:
Spray a generous covering of Pre-Icer onto the glass surface to be treated.
Do not wipe off glass.
Wipe away excess from any paintwork.
After freezing, use windscreen wipers and screen wash to remove excess product and traces of ice on windshield.
Use a rubber squeegee on windows without wiper blades to remove product.
Top tip!
For best results apply to a dry windscreen as this will allow for better application and therefore better effectiveness through the cold weather.

I tried Lockdown on my car for the first time this weekend and was very impressed with the results. Another great product from Car-Chem!
However, I would take issue with Car-Chem’s claims that Lockdown gives up to 12 months protection. I would not expect a product of this type to last that long and would be happy with good protection between maintenance washes. Car-Chem should update their product description for Lockdown and give a more realistic time for the duration of the protection.

I have heard mixed feelings about this product on the Car-Chem discussion groups but personally, I like it. The issue raised seems to be around its difficulty of application. I have applied it to my already polished and ceramic sealed glass and also to my neighbour’s grotty BMW as a test subject and have had no problems. My suggestion is to polish and then clean the glass to get the best possible foundation before applying it out of the sun. You want to have time to buff before it evaporates. Like most other Car-Chem products it seems to be water-based as it doesn’t give off the solvent fumes like its competitors. I’m not sure what Car-Chem suggests but I like to apply perhaps once every couple of months. As expected, once applied, the rain instantly beads and zips off.
I would like to see a smaller bottle offered. Because it needs applying so infrequently I think a 250ml spray bottle would be perfect and allow people to add it to their basket without such a hike in total basket cost. Just a thought.
