Buy yourself some gallon jugs of isopropal alcohol and and pour it on.
The warmer/hotter it is, the faster it will melt and absorb the water
and evaporate.

I do have a question. First a little background.

I fly a PA28-180. It is hangered.

Sometimes we fly in the late afternoon and land just after dark at our
destination. We come back to the plane to find the wings covered with a
light coating of frost and we need to depart ASAP for different
reasons. This is not a good thing (the frost).

Is there some product that can be carried and sprayed on the wings and
tail surfaces to immediately de-ice the plane? I have been looking at
various catalogs and haven't seen anything.
