HotShot eliminates the need for drivers to stand outside their vehicles — in the bitter cold — trying to scrape ice, snow or frost from the windshield. HotShot GO (MH-34 SA) works on almost any make, any year, any vehicle — cars, trucks, vans, or school buses.

The system works on all vehicles - cars, trucks, vans and school buses. It fits compactly under the hood and weighs only 1.1 pounds. HotShot's specialty is intelligently spraying the right amount of fluid at the right temperature at the right intervals using just the right amount of energy - all with the push of a button. HotShot operates in two modes - automatic and standby. Automatic is used for removing ice, snow, sleet, dirt and insects before driving. Washer fluid is sprayed 4-8 times at approximately 149°F, following an initial spray at 161.6°F. Standby is used to remove snow, sleet, ice build-up on wiper blades, and dirt, insects, etc. while driving. Washer fluid is sprayed "on-demand" at approximately 131°F.

HotShot is the only product with proprietary software, microprocessor and hardware that intelligently cycles heated washer fluid for efficient windshield de-icing and cleaning in under 90 seconds. Heated windshields, by contrast, take eight minutes to clear frost but don't remove insects and debris or clear wiper blades. Plus, they are substantially more expensive, require more power, and are expensive to replace should the windshield become cracked or damaged

This is due to the fact the rubber stays softer. It also eliminates the need to reach out of the window to snap ice off the blades. Wiper motors last longer as they operate under less strain from ice, snow, and heavy grime. You actually use less washer fluid because hot fluid removes sap and grime, rather than smearing it on the window creating a safety hazard. One other benefit is that a warm windshield inhibits the build up of fog and condensation on the inside of the windshield.

Heated washer solvent does a superior job removing bugs, grime, bird droppings, tree sap, car wash wax, road oils and dirt.

In test after test, in all weather conditions, HotShot has been proven safe and reliable by all evaluators. HotShot meets or exceeds all pertinent standards of The Society of Automotive Engineers. HotShot is also covered by a three-year warranty.

From start-up, the first hot wash spray commences in about 30–45 seconds. In automatic or park mode, intermittent sprays of the heated washer fluid follow every 6–12 seconds up to 2.5 minutes, unless stopped by the touch of a button. Most importantly, the unit works independently of the vehicle's radiator and defroster systems, so there is no need for the vehicle to warm up. You have a clear windshield quickly.

HotShot works with all types of commercial washer fluids and solvents.

They determined the optimal temperature of the washer fluid to clear the windshield without causing the glass to crack or shatter. The fluid is sprayed at about 145 °F (63 °C). HotShot's engineers have determined the precise temperature required to clear away frost, ice, snow, tree sap, insect grime, oil, wax, road dust, and dirt.

HotShot will not damage your windshield. Extensive tests by Microheat's engineers and automobile manufacturers have proven that HotShot will not crack, shatter, or in any way damage windshield glass.

The volume of fluid, the spray patterns, and the temperature are such that you simply cannot be burned by HotShot.

In fact, wiper blades last longer with HotShot. Because HotShot's burst of steam and heated washer fluid frees frozen wiper blades and eliminates ice and snow build-up. HotShot removes frozen, uneven surfaces that damage or destroy wiper blades. HotShot actually improves the blades' effectiveness and extends their lives. Wiper motors also last longer because they use less solvent.

HotShot's heated fluid has been tested on all types of standard paints and finishes used in the auto industry. It does not scratch or dull the paint (even metallic) or affect the finish in any way.

Our engineering teams have tested HotShot under extreme temperatures and conditions. Its performance in removing snow and ice, even in subzero conditions, is consistent and reliable.

HotShot's software will disable the device if the vehicle's battery power drops below certain predetermined voltages that correspond with the symptoms of a drained or defective battery, a weak or non-functional alternator, or other electrical system problems. HotShot is compatible with 12 V electrical systems and will be compatible with other systems in the future.

When you turn off your vehicle, HotShot will automatically shut off after a few minutes.

The Hotshot will not heat the fluid going to the back windshield for the main reason that by the time it arrived there, it would be cold again. As you know, it does not heat up the reservoir tank. The bypass kit will allow regular washer fluid flow to the rear windshield but will not heat it and allow the Hotshot to do it's job providing hot fluid to the front windshield.

HotShot’s on demand benefits are the solution for all highway visibility issues, making it the number one choice for safety and schedule reliability amongst over the road truckers.

Whether it be snow, ice and road salt during the winter; or bugs, road grime and other contaminants during the warmer months, HotShot is the simple solution. HotShot will give you piece the piece of mind knowing your operators have the ability to see and react sooner to the hazards ahead. A clearer windshield will also increase your employees ability to keep driving schedules, which should actually make HotShot a key contributor to your profit and loss statements for years to come. We are sure you will find that HotShot will pay for itself in intangibles it the first few month of use.

When the system is activated in automatic mode, the system will first shoot a burst of steam through the system resulting in clearing of the washer lines which will cause the oozing of fluid out of the nozzles which in turn will be the source of the long streaks of fluid on the hood.

HotShot fits any existing washer system; in most cases installation is quick and easy. The unit is mounted into the engine compartment, hooked to the battery, connected to the existing washer fluid lines, while the HotShot switch is mounted on the dash board inside the vehicle.

however, for installation you will need a flathead screwdriver, 10 mm nut driver, wire stripper/crimper, pliers, drill with Philip's driver bit, side cutters, and flashlight.

HotShot takes washer fluid from the existing reservoir tank and does not require a separate tank.

They weight just over 1 pound (530 grams). HotShot's housing is made out of rugged plastic.

HotShot is designed to work with all types of nozzles, wiper arms, and wiper systems.
