Like most residents of the Alleghenies, Bill Brown is not a stranger to winter weather or the ice that forms on his windshield.

And like many, Brown said he uses his ice scraper to get the job done. But the Prestone Windshield De-Icer promises to help with his winter woes.

Following the instructions, Bill started his car and turned the defroster on. As he sprayed the de-icer, the thin layer of ice melted right away but the larger chunks weren't so easy even with some help from the windshield wipers. Even so, the de-icer has a built-in scraper to help with the tough spots.

So was Brown willing to trade in his ice scraper for the Preston De-Icer? Absolutely.

"I'd give it a thumbs up," he said.
