Default "Night before" de-icer - anyone used this stuff?

I just wondered if anyone has used this before. You spray it on the screen the night before, and its meant to leave your windows frost free the next morning.

I thought it might affect Rain Wizard/Rain-X on the screen, and you have to be careful not to get it on the paintwork (how careful I'm not sure).

Can anyone vouch for it?

I tried using normal de-icer the night before. It didn't hold the frost off completely, but it held most of it off. The frost that was on came straight off, and hadn't frozen to the screens.
