Nothing is as entertaining as people who never deal with snow dealing with snow

It's obvious that none of you guys been around snow much 😂

Thank you for having me on!! This was a blast testing those products!!

Northern Scot here, Prestone is awesome, when used correctly. It’s not for melting snow, it’s for turning ice to water in front of your eyes. Honestly this was one of the best videos you guys have ever made, simply because it’s obvious the only snow you see on the regular is on the Coca Cola Christmas advert 😂

Northern swede here. There are some things i want to point out: - Dont.......floor it. You want to go easy. The moment you speed up youre just making ice. This is why entries to roads are usually alot more slippery than other parts. - Use pendulum momentum. If youre that deep with no trailer then you can pump the gas to "hump" the car forward. - Wiggle the front wheels. Differentiating wheel direction will help alot. - ice melter. Well youre testing it on new fluffy snow, not under cooled rain or heavy icing. If you want to de-ice windows just mix some alcohol base or more windshield cleaner in your windshield wiper solution. Should be used on key holes since those are some ***** ***** ****** sometimes. My suggestions if you want to drive in snowy places: - Get REAL snow tires. Dont go slippin-and-slidin on highways or down hills. We be hatin you for that. - Get a long scraper with a brush. Fantastic for removing snow and ice especially in the middle of the window. - Go slow. If you have no or little experience with driving in these conditions, dont rush it. This is even more relevant on entries to roads and in slopes. - Check the weather before driving. If there is below zero degrees rain or a snow storm and you arent used to driving in those conditions, dont. - If you are really, really, really stuck somewhere out in the outback, break a few branches of a fir or pine tree, preferably in a broom shape so you get the thinner parts with the needles and the thicker branch holding it all together, and place in front of the tire and SLOWLY move forward. This shouldnt be your go to as you shouldnt break of branches willy nilly, but it can help you get the traction you need to get out of that situation.

Live in Canada, we have winter. in 40 years of driving i've never needed more than a $2 wooden handled ice scraper/brush combo that gets replaced every couple years. Saves your toonies.

The pinnacle of ice and snow removal tools is the $6 wood handled thing with a brush on one side and a plastic scraper on the other. Tried and tested for many years in Saskatchewan. They beat all the fancy metal folding scraper-brushes as well.

"20 bucks is 20 bucks but that was literally two seconds" 2 seconds is a lot for some people Robby!! 😂😂😭😭

Yeah, Finland here, hi. De-icer spray is only product that makes sense out of these if you don't have heated windshield. But like a good one, not that kind you had. You only need basic ice scraper, small metal shovel and snow brush. Shovel is for if you get stuck you can try to shovel yourself out. Small lidded bucket of gravel is also good idea for winter to get some traction if you get stuck. And common sense not to drive anywhere you'd beach yourself. That's literally only things you need. We get temperatures below -30*C (-22*F) and a lot of snow here and I've never been so stuck I couldn't get my self out by my self.

Growing up in the midwest, ya know what gets snow off of your car really well? A BROOM, Then a simple $5 ice scraper that fits in your pocket does the rest. It even cleans snow off of your entire car! Imagine that! Without scratching, too!

i can honestly say i've never seen chains for $800, like get a normal $70 - $100 chains and you're good. It is also hilarious to see people testing winter products at temperatures above freezing.

What a well timed video, considering spring is almost here. 😂

The De-Ice Spray at 11:50 ist actually very good. You have to clean the snow first and then you use the spray against ice. I use one can per winter. Not exactly that product, but a similar one.

I still own a Saab, but when I lived in the northeast I had them as well. Those guys really cared about winter driving; headlight wipers to clear mud and snow from the headlights, a super hot heater, heated leather seats, and maybe the best part; the door handles were metal and designed to not freeze up in icy conditions with a loop big enough to fit your hand in WHILE wearing a glove. The buttons inside the car were a little large as well, and according to Saab it was so you could use any of the car's features with your gloves on. The only thing it was missing was a heated steering wheel and MAYBE 4 wheel drive. If you had good snow tires and drove carefully though that wasn't a problem on main roads... still though those cars felt at home in the snow, especially for 90s vehicles.

As a resident of northern utah Its hilarious to see how unfamiliar most californians are when dealing with snow 😂

I have Prestone De-Icer Spray in my car AND IT WORKS GREAT! if you get a regular pump spray and do it over your windshield, it will DE ICE it...they seemed to use it on SNOW...that wasn't the purpose.

Also, the goal of the prestone spray is to get underneath the ice, you spray at the top and wait for it to break the ice from the car, it peels right off. It's not meant to melt the whole thing, that's why it sprays in a heavy stream.

😂😂 the SoCal boys bundled up like its subzero and then they tell us it's 39 degrees

Who sprays De-icer on to snow? I've used De-icer on frozen windshields and windows for over 10 years and it works every time.

I've lived in Northern Ontario all my life and pretty much knew how most all of these products would perform. What I didn't know is that I have apparently have a tremendous need from a Jeep on a killer tracks tracks set up! Wow!

I love watching you get out of SoCal and cover car topics you normally can't do in dry and sunny LA. This was just some car bois having fun in that fresh pow pow!

If you didn’t come from tiktok raise your hand 🤚🏽

Tire socks are awesome. When the ice storm passed over Oregon a while ago I kept them on my car for the whole thing and never slid or even slipped a tire. All you have to keep in mind is their speed limit and to ease into the throttle.

I saw the zip tie snow tire things and as a Wisconsin man, knew they would not work for my needs. I'm glad you guys tested them for me haha

11:31 Project Farm presentation style theft! 😂

Now that winter is over here’s a video on how to get through snow 😂😂😂

I do have one of those electric ice scratchers from Kärcher and I must honestly say it's the best car accessory I ever had. No idea what kind of battery is in there but I maybe have to charge it like 3 times a winter so that's superb. The ice removing capability is insanely good with a surprisingly high amount of torque so getting even through think ice is a A LOT easier than doing it by hand... Not super easy of course but you have to work a lot less than with a manual one and I don't get all sweaty which is a huge plus for me. Just keep in mind that it does cause micro scratches on the glass. My little shitbox isn't as precious anymore as it used to be so it doesn't matter a lot but I wouldn't do it on a S class...

Loved the real-life tests you guys carried out in harsh conditions. Those snow chains and heated seat additions were getting me through the snowy environment.

1:07 “20 bucks is 20 bucks but that was literally two seconds” 🤣🤣🤣

The Prestone in the windex style bottles is quite a bit easier and more efficient for windows than that straight stream. Pretty useful stuff.

The snow socks did surprise me lmao, but still can’t beat regular ol tire cables

The first thing you do is turn the traction control off. If all the wheels are slipping, nothing moves. "I got my foot to the floor right now." Then you do the rocking, back and forth, turn the wheels, have the tires spin and dig type of techniques. I've never been stuck for long.

Is y’all’s ad really just a straight scam???

👇=If you actually live in snow

That de-icer spray is awsome to prevent ice build up before the snow comes in. Small spray on all of the glass and use a towel or rag to treat the whole glass panel evenly. Prevents ice to begin with!

Hell yeah I love these collabs. Stoked y'all are gonna be in the Off Road Games, hope you're able to get some sick footage!

lived in south dakota basically my whole life, loved to see how california handles snow and cold lol

Im loving the frequency of these now💯

Where are the days this channel produced awesome car video series like _Up To Speed_ and _Bumper To Bumper_ instead of this?

I had a Jeep and bought one of those cheap heaters. I loved it. When you have no heat, a little bit is better than nothing.

Lol the segment when they both got out of the gladiator to swap seats was a nice touch👌

As someone from Northern Minnesota the De-icer spray actually is amazing to have. There are generic ones for a lot less money that do just as good of a job too. Much more intended to work in ultra-cold dry winters. Works really good on doors and locks as well For getting unstuck I would just carry a mini-shovel and kitty-litter/sand. That will work in nearly every situation, and if it doesnt then throw your floor-mats under the wheels as well

I love that you guys collabed with heavy D. Id love to see you guys go to his snowed in series next gear to experience snow!

As someone born and raised in the south, it's eye opening to see that this is a common and recurring issue for many of my fellow Americans in other states to the point that there is an entire industry for accessories that go on your car to combat snow and ice. Snow is so rare down here that it's a full-blown spectacle when it happens.

A couple of scrap pieces of carpet aren't a bad choice for a little extra grip. A shovel and some craps of carpet can be enough to save the day sometimes! I think if you're in a situation more than once where you're stuck pretty bad though... maybe it's time to consider different tires or altering your driving if you can lol. Taking a "mountain shortcut" in your all season tired corolla for example, bad idea if there's a main road that's not as steep and has winter maintenance...

On the Prestone. They make a spray bottle with a wide/narrow twisty nozzle. I can attest it helps a lot in making the ice softer for easier removal

Sweet collaboration. Love seeing you tubers coming together

An ice scraper isn't about getting into your car. Its so you can see out the windshield and windows. That $4 "heated" ice scraper might be terrible but doesn't mean you gotta be an idiot.

15 smackers for a can of deicer?!? Honestly, the most used wintery products I use are the cheap scraper and a home filled spray bottle of deicer windshield fluid. I tried one of the frost-free windshield blankets and it not only froze to the windshield, but the tabs that were shut in the door jams froze in there. I got one out but had to cut the other so I could get to work on time. I'd like to see you guys' take on some jump packs/portable power packs.

Being from Texas and on the border with Mexico, i grew up around the snow. As the corridor to the north I-35 goes right thru Dallas, snow is plentiful around these parts.😊

Can’t wait to see the tracks you get to bolt onto the Ford ranger trophy truck build next winter!!!

The Jeremy Clarkson POWER!! approach by flooring it is the best way to remain stuck

Those tractions boards would definitely work if you had maybe like six of them. just set up a track for each tire and then move the car slowly and grab the last boards to move them to the front again. It would be slow but could work

A question about those tracks on the Jeep....I'm Australian so very little knowledge of snow....I can see the track system adding so much stress on the drive train from transmission to transfer case tail shafts diffs axels and suspension components..long term use would have to cause some damage without strengthening the whole drive line of whatever vehicle you fit it too...hope in product development this is taken into consideration some vehicles have weak drive train compared to others....awesome video looks cold 🥶 while I'm enjoying our summer....

This collab with Robbie and heavy D was a great one!! Keep em coming donut!!

Several fine crossovers. Nice.

My car was in the shop, so I once took the work van home in the winter. Bad mistake. A Chevy Savana Express with all-season tires is terrible on snow. Making it home on roads cleared and compacted by rush hour traffic was fine. The problem was getting into my parking stall at home. Took me half an hour to go 85 metres. Constantly got stuck and had to dig myself out. The next morning was about the same. Fortunately, I got my car back that day. 2006 Ford Focus with winter tires. There was literally only one time in the 11 years I owned that car that it got stuck.

Actually, if you could get some zip ties that were very heavy duty polymer, possibly with like an inner reinforced metal band that might work pretty well for a small cars to get unstuck at least.. heavier duty version of that could sell really well

SoCal guys testing winter products! 😂😂 the Prestone spray works really well on the really cold window glazed and frozen conditions

"That couldn’t have sucked any better" is so accurate 🤣 1:23

Good to see Robby. See him over on the MORR channel too. I've seen semi trailers use those tire socks before. Just saw one in a parking lot recently after our 26 inch snow week.

I have/had those exact same zip tie ones. Was cautiously optimistic. EXACTLY same result!

Prestone stuff really works wonders when you get 1/4 thick ice covered over. You dont need as much as you were using. I few quick mists on the windshield and the 5 minutes later its all de iced even quicker with the car running

The snow socks actually are amazing and you CAN use them on asphalt and up to 25 mph. They will of course wear out faster but I used them on pavement until I was well past the snow and took a few miles to find a spot to pull over. They had a few wear holes but even after machine washing they are good to go for a few more uses. Used them on a 1.2k mile road that was a 3,000 foot elevation drop and they performed amazing.

Also, almost all de-icing sprays contain alcohol... They are super effective in saving you from scraping very but they could damamage plastic and rubber parts like the window liner if you use it a lot long term

That “Absolutely unstoppable” at 5:35 hit me just right haha

That prestone stuff is actually really good. I used to use it all the time years ago. One can last long enough that i wasn't mad about the price. Sont need to spray that much on. It will break up the ice enough and fast enough, and then you just scrape it off.

The de-icer spray works. I either spray before i warm up the car and it comes off easily but the real trick with it is to spray the night before and if you don't care about your paint(and your doors stick) then add some around the door frame the night before

I've personally had great success with biltema washer fluid concentrate in a spray bottle. Mist the windows one by one and then you can scrape the first window as the ice has gelled.

The civic tshirt montage was the coolest thing ever. Awesome editing and sound

High low charger you could get a pursuit edition for the low and around 2010 you can tune them with a odb2 scan tool and they're AWD.

9:35 give that to me and ill swap whatever drill battery you want on to it and itll trim your treasure trail let alone take ice off the windshield lol

In Norway, many people use the Kungs ice scraper and brush combination tool

That ice melt spray actually is handy, once it snows and it’s actually below freezing (-5 to 15) and that ice becomes thick under the snow, you dust off the snow and a little of that goes a long way!

I have a pair of snow socks in my work vehicle which is a ford transit. It is pitiful in the snow. The snow socks have gotten me unstuck so many times, they really are impressive.

You could do a “who is the fastest in Donut” video, it would be lit🔥🔥🔥

For door handles, and for iced up windshields/mirrors, there is a super cheap way to clear them. Take 2 parts Isopropyl Alcohol and 1 part distilled water. Mix in a spray bottle and viola, you're good to go. I live near Aspen, so it's not thenworst for snow and ice, but it does get bad at times and this solution has saved the 27 year old door handles on my 96 pathfinder

As a swede I'm amazed at how many weird unnecessary products are sold for winter driving. I'm over here with an old ice scraper I found at my parent's house years ago, a $5 brush, and a stick of silicone.

We have the socks too. Had to buy them to get out of a snowed in resort. Worked as advertised no complaints for emergency short term use.

I'd like to add that where I grew up sometimes the "spring thaw" was as bad or worse than the winter. The ground's pretty solid in winter, but in early spring.. ehh. Even driveways and grassy parking can get pretty muddy, and it's not that hard to get stuck in a foot of nice mushy dirt.

39° is t-shirt weather where I'm at 🤣🤣

Always wondered when I would see a donut / Heavy D Sparks collab. ❤

When will the mug with a picture of Jerry wearing a t-shirt with a picture of the painting of the civic be available for purchase?

Love to see some of my favourite channels coming together for a collab Awesome stuff

As far as window scraping goes, I have fond memories of used a cd from my visor cd holder to scrape my windshield. Just make sure is one that’s already scratched and skipping

The problem with really good de-icers - Is they destroy rubbers around windows. yes. The rear glass window on my mx5 soft top popped out after using some haha

In winter I just usually put a couple of towels over my windshield and mirrors. Don't have to buy anything fancy and expensive for that and I use a long handle carwash brush to clear the snow off. No money spent and I did exactly the same thing.

Growing up in PA. Snow Joe scraper/broom, Shovel, (2) 20ib bags of kitty litter. That's all I ever keep in my vehicle for winter. Kitty litter is great for extra weight on wheels (i stick one above each wheel well), and for grip to get unstuck. If you don't use the litter, donate to animal shelter at end of winter.

Saw that tracked hellcat gladiator on a video that Cleetus did with Dave Sparks. It is unreal.

Cheaper options for Wind screen use a blanket . For the side windows use sandwich bags or garbage bags. A medium power leaf blower works for clearing snow. For ice on a Window pour warm water in a bag and run it along glass surfaces while wiping with a cloth to prevent refreezing. I suggest using Rain x Water repellent before snow because it will help prevent thick ice from forming.

the wheel socks surprised me. My parents have Prestones(has scraper on the head of bottle), for decently thick ice it does a good job quickly. I chemical tf outta half a inch,

For the SnowShark, you can get an alternative for like 20-40 that does the same thing AND has an ice breaker, it’s made by Suncast

The Prestone deicer works but it’s not nearly cold enough to show its true potential. Also the heaters are intended to be a defroster for the driver side

The heated seat covers at Walmart are perfect. Pretty cheap and they go on sale often too

"20$ is 20$ but that was literally 2 seconds" is something I've heard more times than I'd like to admit

For the heated ice scraper, you could pair it with a jump starter battery pack that has a 12v port on it. 🤣

I've got a Robby layton too, Buddy is almost always ready to help me out.

Been using snow socks in Europe for years. Imagine that, America late to the battlefield again 😅 1958 Land Rover had the option of "Cuthberbson tracks" . I refer to my earlier comment . 😅 We even had a screw drive for soft terrain, and water🤔

to get unstuck use a shovel and an air pump. Dig it out, and deflate the tires a little, when you get to clean road pump them up again. get rid of ice by throwing a gallon of tepid water on the car, around 140f (60c) is fine, and won't crack glass. These methods are all more effective than what you showed and a shovel + air pump + bucket is under $50. In winter I always travel with a shovel just in case.

Bruh…bruhs… I’m in Fairbanks, Alaska as I speak. I’m up here winter testing vehicles for a major manufacturer and I’ve been here since January 3rd. I’ve seen -47F and had to be outside for 15-20min bursts at times. We don’t use any of that crap except a textile frost guard for the windshield and your average brush/scraper combo. The cars don’t really ever get parked inside unless they’re due for service. I’d say the best thing you could do is cover the windshield and make sure the battery is insulated. Yes, your actual battery can freeze. Your key fob battery won’t last, either. Oh, and don’t get stuck. Those fancy CA winter items are pointless. Invest in some good winter tires and learn how to drive on ice and snow
