A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT ONLY FROM THE EXPERTSSince 1969, Great Lakes Chloride Inc. has been distributing calcium chloride for municipalities and companies throughout the midwest. Clear Drive is a new product from Great Lakes Chloride, Inc. that was designed with the residential consumer in mind. Winters can be harsh and clearing your driveway or sidewalk for safety is a chore no person enjoys. Clear Drive is a unique blend of liquid calcium chloride that can easily be applied with a tank sprayer. We recommend using Clear Drive for the following: 1.) Pretreatment of your driveway or sidewalk before snow or sleet begins falling to prevent snow and ice from bonding to the surface you are clearing, and to melt ice and snow instantly upon contact. 2.) Apply along with a winter rock salt to allow your salt to burn through the snow and ice faster, while working at temperatures that untreated salt is ineffective. With Clear Drive, you are guaranteed to prevent ice and snow from bonding to pavement using the power of our unique liquid calcium chloride, without the risk of concrete damage, and corrosion.

This stuff works but has natural limitations to consider
Clear Drive works and in the right conditions you will be able to laugh at your hard working neighbors. I have experience as a municipal employee in charge of removing snow from the roads. A big part of clearing snow is first treating roads with salt, brine or calcium chloride substance to lower the freezing point of water and prevent excessive build up of snow. However, these substances have limitations that must be considered for proper usage and expectations. First of all, the freezing point is lowered to mid to low 20s but its not removed. If you are in the teens then this stuff does nothing. Second of all, rain will wash it away. This is frustrating when treating roads as its not uncommon for a rain to prelude an ice storm.

Great product, money well spent
Used this product for the first time earlier this month before the first snow fall. My driveway was clear as can be and my neighbors had 4 inches of snow piled on. One neighbor came over to inquire what my secret was. The trick with this stuff is to put it down with a sprayer before the snow and ice comes and put it down thick. If you do that you will be thanking yourself once the snow falls.

SAVE your MONEY: Failed to provide any visible difference at temperatures above 30 degrees
This product is supposed to treat up to 6000 sq feet per gallon, but failed to noticeably provide any benefit when applying one gallon to @1000 sq feet of concrete.Temperatures never dropped below 30 degrees and there was almost no difference between treated and untreated concrete.Save your money. The product is not of adequate strength to provide any benefit.I did not test the specific gravity of the Clear Drive Liquid Calcium Chloride Professional Ice Melter which I received , but can safely say (due to the product being shipped without a material handling sheet and the results following application) that this product is complete worthless.

Confused
Maybe I applied it wrong, because I am looking out the window as I type this and my driveway is just as covered with snow as everyone else's. I applied exactly how instructions stated, but maybe I didn't do it thick enough. We'll see how shoveling goes...

Not snake oil but not a miracle either.
You need to use a lot. It can't rain before the snow either. To many variables to get this to work perfectly. It does work very well. But there is no substitute for a snow blower. This will not remove snow on its own.Bought this for the first snow. Pics looked too good to be true so i tired it. Did make shoveling easier but hardly. I won't buy again.

Melts ice/snow quickly
Works great!! Our driveway is on the north side of our house and doesn't get a lot of sun so it takes a long time to melt after snow or ice. This product made a big difference in melting whatever comes down much quicker than without it. Very satisfied.

is ineffective
Used on wooden steps, did not melt snow or ice. What it did do was create a very slippery surface under the snow and ice. I found this to be more dangerous than the actual snow and ice.
