How to enter an iced car

I have several cans of deicer and severl gallons of alcohol (I go
camping and use it for a small stove) in our utility building, but it
too
was a block of ice. I don't like keeping flamables in the house, but
since Lysol is 99% alcohol, we have decided that De-icer is no
more of a risk, and smells much better.
It has been 4 days and it still smells like a doctor office.
Our two cats hide wehn we get home after ridign in the car.
I guess they don't like doctors offices!
It is going to get up to 50 next Friday, so after changing the
valve cover gasket, don't ask, just don't bother with aftermarket
parts, we are going to wash and wax the Civic with a tuff silcon
based product a friend from further north used. She swears that
ice won't stick to this stuff. This I have to see!

I tried a heavy silconized cloth back in 2002 when we had several
inches of ice.
It took 5 of us to remove the cloth. It was HEAVY.
We get this nasty stuff once every couple of years, and given rarity,
Lexington more or less shuts down.
I am going to install a 500 watt heater, with smoke detector shut off,
to try an avoid 15 minute warm up times. I hope that this will allow me
to
warm the car up, melt the crude so it just falls off.
