  • How to Defog your Car Windows, Learn how to defog your windows. I test RainX and home remedies to see what works best. I use RainX, shaving cream, baby shampoo, potatoes, and hand sanitizer to see which ones really work to defog your windshield. For SCUBA diving, I use baby shampoo and old timers mention potatoes, but I think I will be using shaving cream for now on!

    Back in my motorcycle riding days, I bought a new helmet that came with an anti-fog cloth. When the cloth wore out, I asked the cycle shop were to get another one and was told it was just dish soap 🧼 on the cloth. The reason the screen fogs up is the surface tension of the water droplets. The detergent reduces the surface tension and the droplets spread out in a continuous sheet of moisture and becomes invisible. I tried it and it has worked well for me the past 40 years. When my mother-in-law was having her window fogging problem, I told her he same thing and she had as good results as I had. Not everyone has spray shaving cream but everyone has dish soap.

    Thanks Chris. I know this is a few years old but just wanted to say that this is now of particular usefulness to EV drivers. In general, the less you use climate control and/or heating in winter the greater range you have. I pre-heat my Kona so it's nice and toasty in the morning, and combined with heated seats and steering wheel I would never have to use heating or AC when driving if not for short blasts to clear the windscreen and side windows. Hopefully this will eliminate the need for that too.

  • @speaknup8009
    @speaknup8009 Před 2 lety +81

    A simpler fix is to make sure your car's ventilation controls are set to bring fresh air into the car. In other words, turn OFF the recirc control. As the humid air comes through the system, it will be heated by your car's heating system, thereby dropping the relative humidity in it and eliminating fogged windows. It helps if the defrost setting is used to direct the warm air onto the glass. ALSO, if the windows do get fogged, TURN ON your AC. That also serves to drop the relative humidity in the air. Read your owner's manual and it will point this out to you.
    No special window treatments are needed!

    Another great helper to combat foggy windows or just moisture in your vehicle in general, is to buy some of those compact Silica Moisture Absorber containers, like you would use in a storage unit, outdoor shed, RV or closets in your home to keep everything dry. I buy 4 of them from the Dollar Tree and they last all year long and I never have a problem with excessive moisture in my ride or foggy windows. I put 2 in my car at a time, where no one can see them and then switch them out when needed. The water binding beads are on top and there is a collection chamber below, when it fills up with water, you simply just replace it!... Hope this helps someone else, it works great for me during winter and the rainy season! 👍🏻

    Thank you, this video was very helpful. I live in a rainy winter climate and my car does a terrible job of defogging the windows, especially the side windows that get more and more fogged up especially if there are a bunch of people in the car. I tried an experiment - I put shaving cream on half the windshield and the 2 windows on the driver's side of the car. The next few times I drove around, those 2 windows stayed fairly clear while passenger windows on the other side fogged up! Clearly it worked. However, the windshield was smudged and affected my night vision and I just couldn't rub in the shaving cream enough so I ended up having to windex it away. Today I put shaving cream on the other 2 passenger windows, having those 4 windows remain fog-free will be a relief. I hope I don't have to reapply often before winter ends.

      It's also living on a budget because you're going to use that shaving cream for shaving, and use a little bit for your windows too. Buying one thing that has multiple uses instead of buying a specialized product that does only one thing saves money which is great when living on a budget.

    The first way to avoid fogging is to actually clean and decontaminate (from stuck in dirt & grime) the glass. Having dirt particles, or the off gassing residue from all the interior components, on the glass will make it fog waaaaay quicker. The moisture has something to cling to, so fog forms faster.

    Try overlaying the glass with wood. Will stop the moisture getting to the glass.

    If the photos fog up, add a second layer of wood.

      Oh, so you don't shave? Or you just apply shaving cream?

      Why do people seem to think beards groom themselves? Lmao, you can shave without removing your whole beard

    That's crazy! I found out years ago that rain x anti fog gave me a closer shave!

    Does shaving cream have to be gel? Or does regular cream work?

      Randy Beltran I've tried cream on my bathroom mirror but didn't work very well. Maybe it has to be gel.

    The obvious omission was how long each of shaving foam and rain X lasts. Given the active component of shaving foam in this context is basically glycerin, I’ll give you one guess. Hint: sunlight breaks down most chemicals. Also, shaving foam contains potassium hydroxide; I wonder what that might do to door rubber seals over time... (No I dont work for Rain X, but nor do I use dish washing detergent for washing car bodywork, coz, urm, I like it to continue to protect my car AND look good). There are cheap ways, and there are good ways.
