  • Glass fogging up

    It has finally gotten cold in Texas. But with the cold comes fog on the inside of my windows. Does anyone have any tips for keeping the fog off the glass so i can see? Hopefully some people up north have some tricks.

    I have never tried this nor heard of it, but what about applying something like Rain-X to the insides of the windows. The only thing that I have noticed is to keep the windows clean and that seems to help although it only gets down to around 40 degrees here.

      Rain X makes something for the inside of windows. I have never tried it, though, so I don't know if it works. I usually just turn the defrost on and that takes care of it quickly.

        Keep them clean. Rain-X did makes an anti-fog product you might want to try.

          Here's a cheap alternative to rain X anti fog ...

          Wipe shaving cream on interior glass, then wipe
          it clean with cloth. Fog won't bother you again for a few months...

            but will probably streak like crazy. ive used the rain X anti-fog stuff on the inside of the windows, but if youre after a cheap fix just use NXT glass cleaner, it has some anti-fog/haze properties and seems to make a big difference in my experience.

              Let the car warm up for two minutes.

                Hey,

                This is something I have to deal with several months of the year. I have tried the RainX Anti-Fog and hated it. Every time head lights from on coming cars would hit the glass, I saw star bursts! Very bothersome to me, but perhaps not others.

                Perhaps go to a dive shop and see what they use on diving masks. I used to use saliva which prevented fogging in the masks, but I would hate to see someone doing that to their windshield! LOLOL

                  Hello ,

                  What is done by taxi drivers is to apply a wet cloth of detergent to the windows from inside the car then wiped dry without rinsin.
                  I never tried this as i don't drive much.

                    Just turn your air conditioner on with the defroster. Works like a champ for me. The AC dries the air quickly.
