Used correctly, a good quality de-icer won’t damage your car’s paintwork. The primary use of this product is to clear snow and ice from car windows, which means that it shouldn’t come into contact with the paintwork too often. However, modern de-icers like our Prestone Rapid De-Icer are non-corrosive which means they won’t affect the integrity of paint if they’re sprayed across a car’s surface. So you won’t need to worry that the de-icer will dull or damage your car’s paint job!
