Yer it does, didn't want to go out, but took partners car so enjoyed playing in that on empty car park! Lol

I used some hot water and neat screen wash that you put in car, it said it was rated to -8 but still froze on parts of the window, had to work fast so it didn't. Used pole with squeege on, wasn't using ladders in this weather!

Not sure of the temperature here today but it was icy this morning. I was still able to clean a rural school's windows and gutters trad thanks to having my trusty bath towel under my ladders.

We trad down to minus 6 and I think the coldest we worked last winter was down to minus 8 but it depends on many things. Shadow, sun etc. We only trad downsatirs for a reduced price when snow is on the ground. Got that idea off Dazmond and Matt Bateman a few years ago. We drop the price by about 30% and custies seem happy with that.

Cold water with screen wash in. No soap. Try it if you need to, nothing to lose.
