Fastest Way to Defrost Your Windshield 

Looking to expedite the process of defrosting your windshield? The fastest way to defrost your windshield can vary, but following the steps below should make defrosting your car’s windshield a much quicker process. 

• Step 1: Turn the front defogger on high. If your vehicle has a rear windshield defroster, be sure it is on as well. 
• Step 2: Turn the fan on high to maximize the amount of drying air.
• Step 3: Turn the temperature on high. This is because warmer air can dry fog more quickly due to the fact that it holds more moisture. 
• Step 4: Turn the air conditioning on so the fan works similar to a dehumidifier.
• Step 5: Turn off the recirculated air because outside air tends to be dryer.
