Re: Cold Start demisting

Thank you all for your replies.

It’s usually an in and out hand car wash, so perhaps I need to clean the glass myself once a week. What products would you use for this?

I’m fairly sure I’m using the air conditioning - in fact, usually I turn it on cold air first (when the engine in cold) so that ...

Wipers - replacing every year, help!
