@@chronus9083 oh? For your windshield, brush off what you can, and when there's a layer of ice left over, you can attempt 2 things. First use your windshield wipers and if the layer isn't stuck, it will come off with wipers. If it is stuck, use a little bit of wiper fluid. It'll melt the top layer and fix the issue. If not, heat up the window some with car heater. I live in Alaska, and that's what I do unless I'm in a hurry. Then I just scrap off the ice myself.
@@Charlate anything hot like that against something fragile would shatter it. There's a reason why the air starts cold and gradually gets warmer for warming vehicles. It's not because the engine is cold either. You should youtube hot water on ice glass.
Also Chris: well that sucks but dont worry! Check out my recent video on how to fix a deep scratch! Lol no but really if its a bad scratch its a really good video it might help.
If your flamethrower is out of order, you can also douse the car with gasoline and just set it on fire. It will also remove snow and ice off anything within about 100 feet radius.
@@rerepi6980 what are you talking about? It’s works all the time for me. That and replacing my transmission fluid and oil with antifreeze so they don’t freeze in the winter.
@@Berserker_4517 don’t know the rules where you live. But here I must clear of all snow and ice from the car so it won’t fly off and hit other cars or people. If it’s just a bit of thin ice on the windshield, sure. (If I have access to a stove). Don’t know how the windshield likes a sudden increase in temperature from like -20C to 100C though.
Me: I should be studying Chrisfix: Here's how to remove snow Me, living in latinamerica, where it has never snowed and probably never will: omg, I need to know this
I live in a temperate zone and it still wouldn't work here. Our snow ends up more like frozen sludge, so you'd have to get lucky for it to come off that easy.
For very light and dry snow like this, I use a soft boat deck brush. But 9 out of 10 times the snow is heavy and wet, and/or with an icy layer on metal and glass panels. For this reason, I built a garage, which I find to be a very effective solution.
Also, don’t forget to prop up the windshield wiper blades so they don’t freeze to the windshield overnight! Great tips Chris, I need a leaf blower haha
For everyone's knowledge leaf blowers are actually a terrible idea because it pulls the outside air in to blow and it'll throw random dabree on your car sometimes even small rocks use a soft rag or if you have an air compressor that's also good since it can't throw depree

@@MinatoNamikaze-uu7fx no it is not, as someone who lives in an area that freezes every year putting hot water to clear ice will result in cracked glass 99% of the time

Wish I’d have seen this 8 years ago when I first moved to Maryland from Florida. The windshield covers I have seen some folks use but the bags on mirrors is new to me. Great video!

Now yeah, zinc anodes are a thing, but you would need so much zinc added to your car it would be noticeably heavier, which would tank mileage. Either way, don’t fall for it.

Yup, got the windsield covers a couple years ago - on for front, one for rear. They are awesome and dont retain moisture. If they had "ears" on ends for mirrors, theyd be perfect 😀
@@safia3397 It totally sucks! I think it has to be a new seasonal record for where I live. It's made putting up Halloween and Christmas decorations almost pointless which makes me so sad. Currently under a freezing rain warning and the wind is picking up, so I'm prepped for the power to go out 🙄
@@GoatNamedBruce i’m living in Morocco as well, but by far the highest wind speed recorded here had been 32km/hr. Don’t know which city you’re talking about but here in Agadir (south) is like summer during the day, fortunately it’s not cold here but we miss the rain!
@@phs125 hasn't lived in the mountains. There's powdery snow like this and then snow that melts a little bit during the previous day. The wet snows a pain to remove and deal with powder snow just flies off
If your cars ceramic coated you don't need to worry about scratching the paint with the little bristles of the snow brush lol. Shits hard as hell and takes for ever to even SAND through. I work at a body shop and I hate people that do it to thier car 😂 however yes, makes for easy snow removal
@@JacobE-23 I use meguairs hybrid in the blue bottle and use carnauba on top of that for the wet look. Good combo. I can see how being in a body shop would suck with that stuff lol.
I mean if your car has a weak layer of paint then you're kinda fucked. Here we just use some kinds of little scratchy discs to cut that frozen snow of the windows and use a a brush for the hood and roof. Anything that you can't get off will most likely melt while driving to some extent.
Wouldn't recommend brushing your car with anything if it has snow/ice. The micro-fibre might not scratch it, but the ice crystals will. Blower is by far the best / safest
@@freshd6278 it depends on the temperature and moisture and time, not the amount of snow. Even a small layer like that, here where I live, the top bit will be fluff and the bottom will be ice and rough crystals. You can almost even see in the video, the denser snow on the bottom on the car brushed off , while even that small layer just flies off with the blower. Given it's cold enough the bottom layer is mostly crystallized and will 100% scratch paint. When I was in my teens I worked as a lot attendant for some car dealerships, and in the winter we would only ever dare remove snow with blower packs. Seen many newbies get canned for this.
Giggles in Nova Scotia Canada after having dealt with many major heavy ice storms with well over 80km winds with a foot of snow or more being dumped on us.
That leaf blower only works for snow when it's super cold out. Normally in heavier snowfall it melts a little so you end up with a layer of ice underneath and then the snow accumulates on top. Just brush the damn car off and detail it in the spring.
The main reason why snow is bad on the hood of your car is because of the loose stuff on top that blows onto the defrosted window and sticks then melts. The partially-melted packed stuff usually comes off in big chunks instead of a blinding cloud like the loose stuff on top.
Detailing will not heal scratches to the paint my friend. But if you don’t care about the paint cuz maybe that paint is the least of your problems then go right ahead.
@@TripedalTroductions I know in Pennslyvania you have to clear the whole car off of snow, cause if a big snow clump comes off and hits the car behind you, you’re liable for the damage
@@HauyneX One breaks down, have another to spare. Esp if, you know, need to work everyday like most normal people. Being down a car sucks Me mums car just died out with a cracked steering pump. Waiting for parts to be delivered, threw her one of my jeeps to use while I still drive my main truck. No renting, no ubering, no other hassles. ezpz lemonly sqeze
@@HauyneX the only benefit is if you have a multi driving household and would need a secondary car. If it’s just you a second car is really dumb because you won’t be using it often and new cars deprecate in value pretty quickly, and they are both expensive. Unless you got tons of money to spare, or find a cheap old car for a good deal.
One thing that may help if you don’t have that cover for the windshield is to use either some garbage bags, or a tarp in a pinch. If the tarp has holes, you may be able to use that and tie it down.
This is great tips if you live in an area that doesn't snow much or it's a powdery snow. I live in Michigan. I had to use a hair dryer and various other things for a few hours to get my driver door open because it had snowed and then decided to have some freezing rain.
@@eagleeye8916 hot water could shatter any glass it touches. I just booty bump my car door between the handle and the door Crack. That usually breaks up any ice between there. If that doesn't work, ice scraper until it does.
@@eagleeye8916 when my husband was running late and couldn’t defrost his car fast enough, I’d tell him to get water but he would get hot water and it freaked me out! You could really damage your car using the hot water in below freezing temperatures. I would grab cold water and pour it on the windshield to melt the ice. Hot water would freeze back up INSTANTLY too which is a bigger risk. Using colder water, it won’t freeze as fast and can eventually get the ice off the car long enough to properly defrost it.
@@Alaskan907 yea I wouldn't put it by the glass either, just the door jams . The old booty bumb that's a new one for me lol I'll remember that and call the misses when I need back up on that one 😂🤣
@@Ray-cy3ih Usually happens in late winter, early spring when the temperature above 32, so you get a very slushy snow accumulation. You get slush instead of powder, big snowflakes instead of pellets.
As someone who lives in a tropical country all his life. I can say. I envy you guys. I love cold weather i wish i could experience it. It looks so fun. I love snow
I remember earlier this year we got a few inches here in Houston, TX had 2 trash bags on my windshield to keep it from freezing over. Was the only vehicle on the block doing it but man it was worth it.

We've been having 80-120km/hr winds regularly this year since October. Those ziplock baggies and windshield cover would be in Morocco by now.
Excuse me what?
@@safia3397 It totally sucks! I think it has to be a new seasonal record for where I live. It's made putting up Halloween and Christmas decorations almost pointless which makes me so sad. Currently under a freezing rain warning and the wind is picking up, so I'm prepped for the power to go out 🙄
@@GoatNamedBruce i’m living in Morocco as well, but by far the highest wind speed recorded here had been 32km/hr. Don’t know which city you’re talking about but here in Agadir (south) is like summer during the day, fortunately it’s not cold here but we miss the rain!
@@safia3397 no no, I don't live in Morocco lol I live in Atlantic Canada.
@@GoatNamedBruce sorry lol, i thought like that since you mentioned it in your first comment. Anyway i’m relieved now
YES CHRIS OF COURSE WE WANT VIDEOS LIKE THIS IN BETWEEN THE LONG ONES!!
My neighbors would absolutely love to listen to my leafblower at 5:30 in the morning. Thanks Chris! 😊
Keep up the good work 👏
Love to see that leaf blower work on wet snow
Water is wet
@@phs125 hasn't lived in the mountains.
There's powdery snow like this and then snow that melts a little bit during the previous day. The wet snows a pain to remove and deal with powder snow just flies off
@@hardymcfardythe1st464
It’s amazing when it melts a little then freezes and turns into basically a white ice
Or using that leaf blower at 5 am
@@Tja-oz8bj 4:30 am... i was looking for this lol
The leaf blower works amazing in conjunction with paint that’s been ceramic coated.
If your cars ceramic coated you don't need to worry about scratching the paint with the little bristles of the snow brush lol. Shits hard as hell and takes for ever to even SAND through. I work at a body shop and I hate people that do it to thier car 😂 however yes, makes for easy snow removal
@@JacobE-23 I use meguairs hybrid in the blue bottle and use carnauba on top of that for the wet look. Good combo. I can see how being in a body shop would suck with that stuff lol.
He definitely lives without bad winters. Up north Here we get a lot of ice with our snow. It'll freeze the snow.
That's facts, was sitting here wondering how tf I was gonna blow 20 pounds of ice off my car with a leaf blower
Not to mention the wet and heavy snow from the lake that is so heavy that a leaf blower is ineffective
Glad you said it !!
I mean if your car has a weak layer of paint then you're kinda fucked. Here we just use some kinds of little scratchy discs to cut that frozen snow of the windows and use a a brush for the hood and roof. Anything that you can't get off will most likely melt while driving to some extent.
Yup, i live in Michigan and the Winter, when its bad, is not as simple as he makes it look
Chris FIX THE ONE AND ONLY UR AMAZING LOVE U BRO❤ U HELPED MY DAD WITH CAR ISSUES❤❤❤
I'm glad I was able to help!
@@chrisfix OMG CAN'T BELIEVE U RESPONDED IM A HUGE FAN AND IM subbed NEVER GIVE UP UR AMAZING AAA💗
That's some pretty tame snow.
💯
Yeah youre not kidding, i wish all my snowfalls were like this! pffffffftttt
Why are you gatekeeping snow
@@clownfromclowntown Welcome to UA-cam 😂 we aren't allowed snow now.
@@clownfromclowntown Why are you gate keeping gate keeping 😤
You are lucky that’s a light, dry snow… Where I live (in the Rocky Mountains), the leaf blower probably would just pack down the wet snow we get here…
I was looking for this comment 🤣 I had the exact same thought.
Kinda sounds like a you problem
He mentioned it in his full vid
yeah, here in Alaska, good luck 😅
As a person from iceland i have the wet heavy snow
Wouldn't recommend brushing your car with anything if it has snow/ice. The micro-fibre might not scratch it, but the ice crystals will. Blower is by far the best / safest
Free the windshield, start driving and let the wind take care of the rest🤷♂️
@@freshd6278 And damage another person's car in the process.
@@midnightstrove6784 I am not talking about ice blocks, more like the amount of snow in the video
@@freshd6278 it depends on the temperature and moisture and time, not the amount of snow. Even a small layer like that, here where I live, the top bit will be fluff and the bottom will be ice and rough crystals. You can almost even see in the video, the denser snow on the bottom on the car brushed off , while even that small layer just flies off with the blower. Given it's cold enough the bottom layer is mostly crystallized and will 100% scratch paint. When I was in my teens I worked as a lot attendant for some car dealerships, and in the winter we would only ever dare remove snow with blower packs. Seen many newbies get canned for this.
I'm so glad to see you still being this awesome, for YEARS, my guy.
This dude: Just use a leafblower
Me: _laughs in Russian moisty snow that sticks to things_
Chuckles in Wisconsin
Cries in South Dakota
Giggles in Nova Scotia Canada after having dealt with many major heavy ice storms with well over 80km winds with a foot of snow or more being dumped on us.
*stands there menacingly with Massachusetts 2015 snow*
Michigan here also laughing at this weak as powdered snow
That leaf blower only works for snow when it's super cold out. Normally in heavier snowfall it melts a little so you end up with a layer of ice underneath and then the snow accumulates on top.
Just brush the damn car off and detail it in the spring.
The main reason why snow is bad on the hood of your car is because of the loose stuff on top that blows onto the defrosted window and sticks then melts. The partially-melted packed stuff usually comes off in big chunks instead of a blinding cloud like the loose stuff on top.
Detailing will not heal scratches to the paint my friend. But if you don’t care about the paint cuz maybe that paint is the least of your problems then go right ahead.
@@TripedalTroductions I know in Pennslyvania you have to clear the whole car off of snow, cause if a big snow clump comes off and hits the car behind you, you’re liable for the damage
@@gabrielsasala1875 that's why you should never drive too close to someone in snowy conditions
@@asianboi000001 If you care that much about paint maybe don't drive your car in the fucking snow princess
I didn't expect the brush to be sent flying like that 😂
This guys a solid guy I remember following him ages ago and he teaches people how to properly fix things and save money etc
Me living in a country with tropical weather: I don't think I'll ever use it but thanks
As I keep my car in the garage, these "quick tips" are very intriguing 🤔.
Not everyone has usage of a garage unfortunately
@@doodlecaboodle9298 when you own two expensive cars and no garage, your priorities are messed up
I don't even own a car, but i still love watching Chris fix
same
When he took the blower he turned it on, it looked so satisfying. I really love it!!
Me who lives in Georgia where it snowed for approximately 10 minutes this year: mmm, very nice!
Same but hey with Georgia it might snow the whole year next year
Y’all get snow ? Shit in the part of Georgia I live in, the last time I seen snow it was when I was like 10 years old
Hell my fellow Georgian.
Haha you think that’s bad I live in Texas and we haven’t gotten snow since 2020
You mean state or country?
I use a windshield cover, it’s such a time saver
I just got one in early January, even has the mirror covers, definitely worth telling everyone I know to get one. :)
I have remote start....
It seems like such an obvious no brainer, which is why it's embarrassing that I've never actually seen or used one.
@@Mike-tg8gl That's fair 👀
0:40
Nobody:
AMMO NYC: now we don’t want to just yank the ziploc bag off because the ziploc bag might leave scratches on the mirror paint
I like how his mirror even has a symbol telling you it's heated
Him: “ The leaf blower has no chance of scratching your car!”
Me: “oh ok then”
*drops leave blower on car*
Me: “oh shit- that’s a scratch”
That's a dent
@@suryagupta955 its a massive debt
Yes by ACTUALLY using the leaf blower, if u purposely drop it its yo own fault.
@@kamidesu6414 man's has a Maserati
@@suryagupta955 not if it’s a scratch
That was a short taste of the Chris fix heaven... Thanks Chris 😁😁
Glad you enjoyed it! :p
Watching that leaf blower blow snow is so satisfying ❄️
Never thought of using a leaf blower for snow. Just put one in my Amazon cart. Got go back and read the reviews before I order one. Thanks.
me 10 minutes ago : i bet chris fix has his magic way of snow removal.
me now : called it
You read my mind!
@@chrisfix I love these ChrisFix Quick Tips for Shorts!!! Please please please do them more often, I will proudly watch them!!!
ChrisFix: “Here’s how to remove snow on your car”
Me in Greece: hmmmmm...
More like gaaaaaaaaamiseeeta!
How it going over there
@@diegocenteno4392 awful bro, it was raining ashes in my area yesterday
I also don't know why i'm watching this. I live in Brazil, there'not a single speck of snow here. Btw how is it raining ashes in Greece? 🤔
@@VictorMarwood there has been a huge forest blaze in central greece for the past 4 days and the cities around that are greatly affected by it.
I was just thinking I should try that and then I remembered I have a garage
And also you don’t have more than 2 cars
@AV yeah, what would be the benefit of having more than two?
@@HauyneX One breaks down, have another to spare. Esp if, you know, need to work everyday like most normal people. Being down a car sucks
Me mums car just died out with a cracked steering pump. Waiting for parts to be delivered, threw her one of my jeeps to use while I still drive my main truck. No renting, no ubering, no other hassles. ezpz lemonly sqeze
@@3DTwinkies my dad's car is from like 2002 and it's still going strong
@@HauyneX the only benefit is if you have a multi driving household and would need a secondary car. If it’s just you a second car is really dumb because you won’t be using it often and new cars deprecate in value pretty quickly, and they are both expensive. Unless you got tons of money to spare, or find a cheap old car for a good deal.
I love these tips, I can't wait to use them! (My faded paint appreciates the effort)
One thing that may help if you don’t have that cover for the windshield is to use either some garbage bags, or a tarp in a pinch. If the tarp has holes, you may be able to use that and tie it down.
Summer time we used those sun shades inside the window. Winter time we put it on the outside.
@@Bada_Boom78 If the rubber band piece is still intact I wrap that around the side mirror otherwise extra long zip tie loop.
I just use a towel
@@gendawg4584 That also works!
This is great tips if you live in an area that doesn't snow much or it's a powdery snow. I live in Michigan. I had to use a hair dryer and various other things for a few hours to get my driver door open because it had snowed and then decided to have some freezing rain.
Dang girl , u could have used hot water by the door gaps and pull it open .
@@eagleeye8916 hot water could shatter any glass it touches. I just booty bump my car door between the handle and the door Crack. That usually breaks up any ice between there. If that doesn't work, ice scraper until it does.
@@eagleeye8916 when my husband was running late and couldn’t defrost his car fast enough, I’d tell him to get water but he would get hot water and it freaked me out! You could really damage your car using the hot water in below freezing temperatures. I would grab cold water and pour it on the windshield to melt the ice. Hot water would freeze back up INSTANTLY too which is a bigger risk. Using colder water, it won’t freeze as fast and can eventually get the ice off the car long enough to properly defrost it.
@@Alaskan907 yea I wouldn't put it by the glass either, just the door jams . The old booty bumb that's a new one for me lol
I'll remember that and call the misses when I need back up on that one 😂🤣
@@imaspecialgirllalala I'd only use it on the door jams never on glass . People also use hot water to undue there dents so it shouldn't hurt .
It seems like the leaf blower will only work on light, dry, powdery snow. Thick, heavy, wet snow? 🤷🏻♀️
Blow torch
The hell is wet snow ?
@@Ray-cy3ih Usually happens in late winter, early spring when the temperature above 32, so you get a very slushy snow accumulation. You get slush instead of powder, big snowflakes instead of pellets.
Yes, like illinois
@@PatriciaKanavy oh you mean when the sun comes out snow 😐
As a person without a car and living in an area that rarely snows these tips were very useful
You basically copied the comment from @Night
@@TheDarknessConsumesMe666 I didn’t see that lol
I watch your videos so much this wasn’t even a short, it was a regular recommendation.
I’ve lived in the snowy area of the US for all my life and the leaf blower is new to me. Thanks for the tip
Me, who lives in a tropical country: *yes, I really need this*
As someone who lives in a tropical country all his life. I can say. I envy you guys. I love cold weather i wish i could experience it. It looks so fun. I love snow
As someone who lives in this cold weather, I envy you haha
Loved this short video! We should have one every other day 👍👍
IM SO HAPPY! You have shorts now! Easy, simple, helps people in seconds. Lots of love!
Great man! I wonder how the concept of “shorts” will do here on UA-cam. I like the idea.
We will see!
Microfiber towels on the snow removal tool... GREAT idea! Thank you so much!🙂
Best thing I've found is to not live where it snows!
Or have the car under roof
@@lolekmolek3549 Or not have a car
where?
That's boring!
@@kidnamedfinger6323 snow sucks
I remember earlier this year we got a few inches here in Houston, TX had 2 trash bags on my windshield to keep it from freezing over. Was the only vehicle on the block doing it but man it was worth it.
It's pretty simple but it helps so much!
@Jonathan P it kept from it freezing when I did it.
I just used an old flat sheet worked like a charm.
As a Floridian, I can totally relate
Super useful tips! Thank you and Merry Christmas!
