The first windshield cleaner unit offered for automobiles was in 1936, as an aftermarket option to be installed on cars after they were bought . </P> <P> Washer fluid may sometimes be preheated before being delivered onto the windshield . This is especially desirable in colder climates when a thin layer of ice or frost accumulates on the windshield's surface, because it eliminates the need to manually scrape the windshield or pour warm water on the glass . Although there are a few aftermarket preheat devices available, many automobile makers offer this feature factory installed on at least some of their vehicles . For example, General Motors had begun equipping vehicles with heated washer fluid systems from the factory beginning in 2006 with the Buick Lucerne sedan . The system emits a fine mist of heated water that clears frost without damaging the windshield itself . GM also claims heated washer fluid helps in removing bug splatters and other road accumulation . The company halted the production of these mechanisms after they found that it was prone to start engine fires . A different system patented by BMW first sprays "intensive" washer fluid and then standard washer fluid on to the windscreen . </P>
