What is the most efficient way to defrost an Audi A1 windshield?

I have an Audi A1 and during winter, the windshield and windows are always covered in ice. What is the best and fastest method to defrost them without causing damage?

The most efficient method is to use a de-icer spray specifically designed for cars. Make sure to follow the instructions and spray it evenly on the windshield. After a few minutes, use an ice scraper to remove any remaining ice.

Instead of using hot water to melt the ice, try using cold water. Hot water can cause the windshield to crack due to the sudden temperature change. Cold water is less likely to cause damage.
