NO, under no circumstances should you put warm water on the car, especially on the glasses, they will break.
Never pour hot water on your windshield, it might crack.
I personally put silicone grease on the car door seals in the winter so they don't stick to each other and the door is easier to open. You can find those silicone greases in every automotive store.
You should never pour water directly on car doors or locks, but you should put hot water in a plastic bag and use it to heat the lock or door. And of course you shouldn't pour hot water on frozen glass surfaces.
The easiest way to keep the car clean of snow and ice, if there is no garage or carport, is to put a separately sold half-cover over the car, which covers the car's roof and windows, or the same tarp he used to protect his pile of wood.
By the way, I like your shirt.
Kiitos :)
I don't recommend using too many socks. Your feet need room to move around. And for the hands I recommend mittens instead of gloves. I like to use two mittens on top of each other: thinner wool mittens on the bottom and bigger mittens on the top made from wool, leather or some other good material.
If you do any kind of hard labor outside in the winter, its much better to have good thinner socks under heavier wool socks. (Preferably merino wool so its transfers moisture out of the skin well.) It is much more important to keep your feet warm, than more room to move them. With hands as you do some woodwork or such, mittens are useless. Unless you want to spend whole day in a task which you can do under 4 hours on proper gear. Good actual winter work gloves are what you need, you also get them with varying amounts of insulation, so the temperature isnt really issue. But if you are only going for a walk, or outside not working your recommendation is excellent. Mittens are good if you dont need dexterity.
Hi Mauro, yes last winter was extremely cold in the southern Finland as well as northen ..been driving a lot during the winters, frozen car windows are not so pleasant ❄️..Hope this man on video cope well with the winter by now☃️❄️ ..Thank you Mauro , great video 🇮🇹❤🇫🇮
idk, here in central finland, it goes below -30c almost every winter, sometimes for longer times than just one day. it really "waves" a lot. for example last weekend, it was -1 celsius at 6am o clock. next morning at same time it was almost +10 celsius and its been so for few days now lol
In Raahe also +9 at 23:06, now
as a finn i can hear the temperature of the snow. minus 22 celsius.
If you make an igloo, its floor must be higher than the doorway, so one candle inside is enough to keep it warm
And make the floor slope towards the "door" so the cold will drain outwards
Last winter i was riding an broken bicycle in -30°C it gets pretty damm cold while driving 20-30kmh i had to cover up even my whole face to not get annihiliated by the cold
I'm Finnish and have to keep my car outside even in winter. I never pour water on my car, it just would create more problems than it solves. Heat gun could be better solution to melt the ice if you have real problems getting a door open, but you can also do expensive damage with it, so you have to be reasonable using it.
I use windshield cover, which prevents the window freezing, and also electrical mains voltage heater inside the car, and of course engine block heater as well. Actually the engine heater is just so called "radiating" heater element attached to the oil pan, because for most modern(-ish) cars, it's no longer possible to install old school engine block heater, which heats the coolant in the engine block.
Even if it would physically fit in, very tight modern emissions control systems are so finicky that check engine light might come on for inplausible or conflicting temperature data, engine probably wouldn't run right, might start and then stall, etc. I just watched this Finnish car mechanic channel about these engine block heaters in modern cars:

Last January was indeed very cold, topped at -36°C where I live.
Few times in a winter I let the accumulated snow and ice melt from my car in heated parking garage, but it's best to let it be there for several hours so it would dry as much as possible, otherwise the water will freeze again immediatly when you drive out of the garage.
You never pour water on your car!!!
Even here on the coast there is always a wind from the icy sea
10:42 Warm water is worst solution against ice.
12:13 Air gets warm eventually, but might take some time. He just seem to excepts it to happen instantly.
13:00 Tarps and mats work, no idea what have he's done.
I was sleeping on the forest -36 C on the lappland. Good sleeping bag and tent is enough and snow isolated tent walls. Very fresh experience 👋🏻 recommended
oh yes, NEVER use water to open your car doors :D keeping it as dry as possible and if needed use oil. yes. oil. it wont freeze as easy :D i tend to put oil all around my car door handles and locks etc if i find out the weather is not stable for while or its extremely car
i used to bicycle in the finland winter with only normal jeans, cloves and jacket. first 5min it hurts but after that your body starts to warm and its fine.
I spent most of my childhood in a house where we had 3 of those stoves meant to heat the house. One downstairs, two upstairs. One in my room. Pönttöuuni or as it's called in my region "pystyuuni". Same thing anyway. Same structure.
18:45 Weird to see that fireplace, because we have the exact same at my house 😆
btw, WHAT, i have never seen gloves like that with a screen XD glove heaters i know they exists but i have never needed them because i literally never been outside longer than 15 hours during winter. yes. 15 hours.... but it was the alcohol that kept me warm LOOOL!!!
I would never pour Water on My car during Winter. i like this Guy but there are also few other things wrong on what he says. I live in Lapland.
Yeah there is no saw in sauna 👍
16:00 wtf :D never seen those. I think most important is good woolly hat, scarf and jacket with hood (and ofc long johns if -20C). Heat escapes from the upper body, so seal it and you do not need fancy electric warming gloves.
I don't know about that pure honesty. Some are ignorance, but some seemed made up. E.g. during the colder periods plowing snow is way easier than when it's around zero temperatures. The snow is much lighter then and it's not so hard that you can't use a snow scoop and snow shovel to clear it. In fact, you can easily clear it in large blocks, which is nice. Those blocks also the stuff the igloos are build from. And you definitely wouldn't have to tiptoe on top of it like the guy on the video does, if it would be ice. The guy literally jumped three little jumps and sank knee deep in that "ice". Slush however is heavy and it turns into ice when it freezes, because it's basically almost water. And you can make snow balls also during the colder periods. You just need to squeeze the snow a bit more than just once, like he did. When you pile snow it gets harder, because it densifies. Same thing as with that snow ball. Snow also functions as a damper, if you happen to drive off the road. And black ice is more a zero temperature issue. Yes, there are garages, garage tents and also engine heaters and window covers, which mean even less "winter drama". Nor have I ever seen anyone pour water on their car during winter. That's like trying to defrost a frozen mountain in a freezing temperature with a cup of hot tea. Btw, winter tires are Finnish invention dating to 1934. They were invented by Suomen Gummitehdas Osakeyhtiö, which later became Nokian Tyres. They produced also E.g. cables and later phones. Not to mention rubber boots. Also winter boots available. No batteries needed. No need to get indoor every 30 mins: "Nokian Rubber Boots being studded" and "Kylmässä selviytyminen Länsi10 (eng subs)".
Hes near ocean so might be humidy that dense the top layer. Here in east colder is better for blowing

I know one funny winter thing, I think almost all Finnish children have tried it when they were little. Put your tongue in freezing temperatures (below zero) on some metal, it will freeze to it in a second. don't panic and rip it off, it hurts! You can use warm water for that, so it comes off painlessly.🥶😂🇫🇮
I have not ever seen or heard that someone put hot water on their car to melt the ice! 😮 (I am a Finn and I have a car on my own) We have for example heaters and staff like that. I don't say that no one does that, but that is not a common thing.
Some of these things are just stuff that all Finns know, like you never pour water on your windshield. If you really don't want to scrape your windows you can buy alcohol spray that melts the ice but also that will freeze the water that is left from the melted ice if it is cold enough. Just leave earlier and let you car run a while and let it warm up.
He might be overcrowding his shoes. You need to have some air between the layers you wear for insulation. If you pack on two pairs of thick socks tightly into your shoes, your feet are going to be colder than they might be with a pair of thin socks and a pair of thick socks. Or you need slightly bigger shoes to accommodate the thick socks.
-27 is not too cold for me or my 70's Lada! it will always start easily even without preheating! i would rather live in my current apartment for whole my life if it was always -27c outside than +27c (i would not sleep at all lol)
Cmon , I grow up in winter iteas always at winter like -28 to -35.. If you dont take snow away like 2-3 days you not comming out.. And we survived it..
PERKELE😂
Old houses breath through those windows so u easily ruin it with modern windows.
well walls also breath, so making renovation and putting plastic to walls is also bad idea.
This guy is most definetly a foreigner for pouring hot water on a frozen car. Never do that! It is almost as stupid as putting firewood in an electric oven and lighting it. The best combo for dealing with icing windows are: a blanket that covers all windows, a heater that warms the oil deposit and a heater that blows hot air inside the car. The blanket will also help to keep the warmth inside the car.
-26°C :D
That's not even cold here.. Over -25°C is quite normal during winter, over -30°C is normal every winter
pingu :D
Wtf again. As a Finnish, just pants and jeans, t shirt and winter jacket. Mostly no any hat or pipo. Gloves ok. No matter if is - 20. After that maybe.
soon this shit winter will come again to finland :(
Hot water on car🤣 heated gloves.wtf. 6 months of the year. Most of this guys points was bs.
Just amazing mistakes... In cold, everything MUST be dry. Using water is like peeingnin Ur pants. Helps only for a ten seconds and THEN ur in a lots of problems... 😂
Hell nooooo!!!!! Don't poor any water on your car. That's the most stupid thing you can do🙄🙈
And wear a hat! All your body temperature just vanishes through your head.
Man is too romantic. Cold is just cold, and everyone get use to it in few days. So I think him video is bullshit.
Yes, I'm finnish.
amateurs XD
Sure. Srange points. And silly🤣
