Tristan, known online as @tristanwalton13, regularly shares quick and easy hacks with his 1,700 followers. 

In his latest TikTok video, he reveals how he uses a piece of cardboard to keep his windscreen free from snow and ice. 

“Quick de ice trick, thank me later.

“Two-second job.” 

During the five-second video, Tristan is seen lifting a flattened cardboard box off his windscreen to reveal an unfrozen section underneath.

Fans loved the quick and easy hack, with the video gaining more than 37,000 likes and 1.7 million views. 

His followers praised the genius idea, with one writing: “I think you’re on to something there.”

A third added: “Been using this for 20 years. Never fails.”

He’s not the only one with a hack to save driver time defrosting their screens –  George shared another easy way to do it using just two items. 

During the TikTok video, he is seen filling a  plastic bag or water bottle with lukewarm water and running it over the frozen windscreen.
