Here are the materials you'll need:

Step 1: Snow may fall on your window screen and get on areas it shouldn’t be. It's best to remove as much snow as possible to prevent it from falling off while driving. To defrost, attach a trigger spray on to the Isopropanol 70% bottle and spray on to your icy windows and the rest of your car. Wipe with an old towel to remove ice and prevent fogging, leaving your windows streak-free and clear. Ensure the snow is completely clear from the roof, lights, and number plates.

Step 2: Use multi-purpose cleaner to clean your car to prevent the build-up of bacteria.

Step 3: Clear windows are crucial for safe driving in snowy conditions. Use a Glass & Window Cleaner to keep your windows free from snow. Spray the cleaner on the windows and allow it to soak for 5-10 minutes. Use a cloth to clean the windows, repeating if necessary.

Step 4: If possible, park your car inside a garage to protect it from snow. If a garage is unavailable, consider using a shield to cover your car.

Step 7: Check that your exterior lights are clean, visible, and functioning properly. Use Isopropanol 70% and a trigger spray to clean the lights, then wipe with an old cloth.
