Yeah that's funny but I always have crew with morning coffee without lids; or worse when it rains we all get wet then enter the cab and everything fogs up because we are also sweaty.
Hey.. Uber soup
😆😆
@ChrisFix my husband and I are truck drivers. We were having trouble seeing our our windshield in the rain and used the toothpaste. Works like a charm. You are a lifesaver. From my husband and I a million thank yous my friend!
Did you use the toothpaste as rain repeller?
@@shahab7363 I've heard shaving cream does well for that. Haven't tried it
@@Ryan_Carder Yes it does
i find removing the windows works perfect, bit cold though when driving. lol
Hehehehe... Yeah, windows are overrated.

Nice!

Yeah and loss of breath when driving at the highway 🤪
i must admit... i cried when the onion didn't work ;)
Imagine being that man walking his dog and seeing a man spreading avocado on his car window

Does it work on windows xp ?

That.s outdated. Like the one I use to write with right now
No, sadly avocados stop supporting Windows XP couple of years ago.
Mrš
it djd work in windows 98 for me
A tip that might be interesting for you to know, Chris, is that we, up here in the arctic north, learn to vent out the heat from the car, once you are almost home.
Hot air can hold lots of humidity, which will condense once it cools off, where cold air can contain almost no humidity at all.
So, when you are driving home, for example, when you are 30-60 seconds from home, you can open your windows a little, and turn off the heater in the car. Next morning, very little, if any, fog on the windows.
And the award goes to...
Trying this cause northern Ontario
Yes, Sir. One of my tricks. Always park the car cold. Here, in Quebec, it was around -20F, in the morning, around Xmas time...
TheRealXesc ......and what happen if your heater don't work.?
Same here. Always kill the heater before putting the car to park. A cold car will not ice snow.
Chris seems like the dope ass friend you'd want he's so chill and laid back but very very informative gotta love him!
Na he's a busy freaking bee
The fact this dude is still replying to comments shows his dedication to RUclips.
Why is that poor man rubbing avocado on his car windows
they tould him once your truck is a monster so he decided to feed it...

I love when you go all Marine Biologist on this stuff! SCIENCE! The next test should be defogger, toothpaste, shaving cream, and control. Also (I know you know), but the defogger goes inside the mask to be effective. Awesome video!
Thanks bud! That might just have to be the next test!
Sounds like a job for Project Farm.

Terrific video CFix, great demo and actual, clear-to-see (no pun intended) results. Nice job indeed young man. Many thanks!
I know this is an old vlog but fantastic video Chris mate I’m just going through your older videos I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now love your channel keep up the great work
I love your presentation, explanation, and execution. Thank you for the insight and tips! Kudos to you! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
*(now you know why "high quality" precision optics are coated with Fluoride)* How does a cloud form? Dust attracts water (surface tension). Fluoride *_seals_* the pores of the glass, and makes it slippery- so dust can't be attracted or embedded into the surface. A high SPF suntan lotion or a "chapstick" type protector will also work. A high quality clay bar, followed by a silicone wax works awesome for glass _inside and out_ too!
If Fluoride is the key..why didn't the Scope mouthwash work at all? 😕
+HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP Thanks for the info. So you think Fluoride is why it works and filling the pores is how it works? I thought it might have been making the surface hydrophobic. Hmmmmm....
Craig Cundiff The *Listerene* mouthwash Chris used also contains _ethanol_ which just negates any other ingredients.
The Fluoride used in mouth care products is designed to transform into Fluorine _gas_ which bleaches out stains (Sodium Fluoride Ion) The Hexafluoride solid used for optics is slightly different.
ChrisFix You were on the right track with the microscope- but you'd need an SEM to see what's _actually_ going on. We're talking micron-level stuff here!
Research "Why are lenses fluoride coated?".
Mostly German rifle scopes, binoculars, camera lenses, etc.
You are correct about the "hydrophobic" effect.

+HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP Thanks a lot! This is great info!

I just love how much effort you put it in your videos. mad respect.
my AC compressor went out in my favorite truck. so I literally had NO defroster. this helped my stress level in the morning trying to drive to work ... Rain X did the job, Love you Man !
Chris it's 600 in the morning I was asleep and my headphones went up in noise saw it was you uploading interrupted my sleep to watch your vid love them you've helped my truck look sooo much better I appreciate it more than you'll ever know thank you so much!!!
+Tyler Stroud That is a dedicated fan! I am glad you enjoy the videos bud and thanks for the support!
Something that works for me better than the defrost option in the AC, is to turn AC on, and maybe turning on the heat so it won't get too cold inside. It sort of removes the moisture, and does it faster than the standard defroster. Specially when your AC system lets you redirect the AC to any of the vents.
Thanks for the tip! If you have AC that is definitely helpful!
Great video, we came up with the same answer as bicyclists. It’s a great idea and we have been using it for years as an anti-fogger. Thank you very much for sharing.
Dang! I just found this channel! How have I lived without this channel?! I won’t take a chance of living without it now!
Chris, great videos. I've seen several and I appreciate all the effort.I'd like to add a little bit here though:* A decrease in temperature actually increases Relative Humidity. The best way to clean your windshield is to turn on the AC if you have it, but increase the temperature the temperature. That way you are using both the drying effect of the AC as well as the drop in RH due to the temperature difference across the heater core.This will also help by keeping water from condensing outside on the windshield caused by using cold air from the AC.
Who knew that an avocado can also hurt your feelings..
lol, just started watching you because i'm a home owner now and man you killed it with every video with no BS just right to the point. You da man. You got a new subscriber lol.
Amazing! It works. I am super grateful for this tip. You may not realize just how much this helped me today in the situation I found myself. All I can say is thanks a million.
Thank you so much :D. Works perfect in my truck!. Greetings from Venezuela.
"your windscreen is really clean"
> Thanks, I spat on it
Just came from your old video where you didn't use a control. You may not notice it but your videos are always improving. I really enjoy your channel - thanks for your time.
Love your channel. No bullshitting. Short and effective.
Chris your videos are the best and the most useful thank you for everything
Brighter and Fresher Windows in 2 weeks LOL!! Thank you for anther awesome video ChrisFix.
Thank you for making this video! All of yer videos have helped me out with my car tremendously!!!!
Hi Chris ! Thank You! Wishing you the best health 💜💕
I would love to see this same kind of side by side test for rain on the outside of the windshield with rain-x vs. the car wax you used in your super clean windshield video
Ikioyrrttrr4rtoppopppooppppoyyuuurerdddtoñmmmnnnnvvvgu
Windex works great too! It’s best on the outside if you saturate the window but you can spray it on and wipe it off too. The ammonia is the key ingredient to keep fog away. Though it’s a temporary fix it works great on humid nights in the south so you don’t have to turn the defrost on in the summertime.
Early today I just found out my defrost doesn’t work in my car. Until I can afford to fix it I’m going to have to do some sort of home remedies for the inside fogging up. And I would just like to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for making this video I watched both parts to this experiment you did here. And I just cannot thank you enough because I am so appreciative that you Actaully showed the before, during, and after. Every step of the way. Comparing multiple products. And I just found this extremely helpful. Like enough to the point where I’m commenting (because I don’t really do this) so I appreciate you and the work you do here
Sup chris your tutorial was a big help for everyone of us. I hope you make a lot of this..
Respect from the Philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭👌🏻
Great vid, never expected toohtpaste won !
You're the MVP of RUclips.
+Zurassh Thanks!
Thanks for the video!
Saturday morning here in Belgium, 7am. Just found out my heaters and demisters in the car stopped working. No shops open to buy products and i need to hit the road now for a 105 km trip. A quick look in youtube found your tutorial and Just enough time to apply the toothpast.. (though not colgate).
I will post my experience when I arrive at my destination.
If you all never here from me again, well... 6 feet under is what happened.
I really appreciate the efforts in the video.
Thanks heaps @ChrisFix 🙏🏼
After watching your video, I had tried the toothpaste.
Can confirm that this actually works.
Have done it for my front windscreen, side mirrors and side windows.
No fog has built up since then.
Thanks heaps again @ChrisFix 😁
i feel this should be called 'part2'
Coulda swore I already watched this like a few months ago.....
Lol he did a video with antifog from rainx and shaving cream and something else I believe
+IntrepidGaming Watch the whole video. He makes it clear this is just new suggestions.
watch the video one more time and you and the rest that liked your comment will get it..
watch it one more time and you might figure it out this time
How often should be de-fogger applied ? Thank you so much
that microscopic camera is cool, might help me find the reason why my dad left
I have the Rainx Anti Fog and I must say it didnt work well for me when I used it on my windshield. It actually kept a light film on my windshield that made it harder to see through combined with the fog. I am going to attempt using some shaving cream or the toothpaste... Thanks for the tips !!
How's the result?
Might be 6 years too late but-
Try cleaning your window with a mild degreaser, a good window cleaner and 3 good quality micro fiber towels
1 towel for degreaser
1 for window cleaner and the last one is for buffing of residue
If you do this right you may not even need Rainx
I personally just throw those silica gel packets near my windshield (normally on the defroster vents). I have a ton of them from Amazon packages, and they work awesome. I only use two for the whole front windshield, and they work perfectly. The only disadvantage is you can't put them on the side windows.
+BAD Ben thanks for sharing!
ouch! do not inhale the silica! Under microscope it has sharp edgers, thus it will hurt the linings in your lungs.
I use those things in my toolbox. Helps keep tools from rusting :)
Something new. Thanks for sharing
Awesome vid.. can’t beat examples and comparison side by side 👍🏾
Thanks a lot!
Both fog prevent videos are killer thanks for the analysis
My fog is on the outside of my windshield from my A/C because it blows a little bit out the defrost. But I also live in the south we’re it’s really humid
I love your commentary... "This onion was made for the window"😄
Goed
Chris your video is fantastic. I like the way you demonstrated. I will try toothpaste. Shaving foam did work for me
Your videos are fantastic. You make RUclips better. Thank for your help.
"Everyone has toothpaste." **Considering some of the people I work with, I don't really know if that's true. ;)
😂😂😂😂
ha ha ha i'm with you on that
+timotheus1973 lol
Hey @ChrisFix - your videos are great man, thanks for making them. How long do these last before you have to re-apply them?Between this video and your other one on anti-fogging which product is overall the best? Rain-X, shaving cream, toothpaste? Does the Rain-X last longer?
They last about the same and its a few months.
Thanks for your very detail experiment and effort to show the best result.
Cheer, have many great days
Hien Le
thanks Chriss, i really appreciate your work for i live in a town where no such thing as anti fog is available, your videos are great and practical,and i suggest that you use more common tools and products for your next videos cause where i live i dont get much choices for any thing , thanks for the great gift, for knowledge is the best gift to give away :)
I will also use it on my glasses so I will be able to boil pasta without being blind
Good vid you lil mythbuster you !
Great! I have an old VW campervan with no defogger fan so this will be useful.
WELL YOU ARE VERY GOOD AT THIS ! Nice job.
i would like to know how long these remedies last in comparison with the pro de-fogger.
Small correction about dive masks. Toothpaste is used to remove the layer of silicone on the inside of the mask. After that, you want to use baby shampoo as your actual defogger, not toothpaste.
i never tried toothpaste but baby shampoo works for sure...the only thing that actually worked for me
@@donovans6472 It's not one or the other. It is both. Toothpaste once when the mask is new to remove the silicone from the factory (and maybe once a year afterwards to remove any additional accumulation). And then baby shampoo each time you dive to provide a thin coating that prevents fogging.
Um, my fiance's boss is an avid diver and he just burnt the silicone layer off with a lighter 😂
@@duskyjackal1699 Lighter method also works to remove silicone.
@@a_single_white_female I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise when i saw the flame on the glass 🤣 it was my first ever mask and it wasnt cheap. Needless to say, i was glad when somone else did it.
Went from 500k subs to 7mil in 5 years congrats 👍
I really enjoyed this video ! Great job done 👍👍
Thanks a lot!
Very nice video. It's lot of hard work to create good video
You wouldn't want to rub onions in your scuba lenses anyways.😂😂
You’re the best that worked thanks!
Amazing vid. Love your comparisons
Does it matter what kind of toothpaste is better? Color, ingredients etc....
car polish paste wax seems best do inside and outside makes frost outside easyer to remove too house furniture polish works too and the old stand by shaving cream
Hey Chris great test!!! Thanks
thank you so much fo this experiment!!! 👌👍
The Onion I can only imagine people getting in your car and thinking you have body odor
Still waiting for that part 2 of the jaguar inspection
Chris has you covered man. Its coming
***** Did you really is it make a fake account, come on dude.
Eduardo Garcia Ex dee
Price Shepherd what did he say?
Prismic Kyubey To far back lol I can't remember
Well done, Chris.
I used those little bead packets you get in shoe boxes and different products one time. Worked great. I lined them up on my dashboard and they absorbed the moisture and kept my windows from fogging up. But of course they got annoying after a while, so I ended up removing them.
How come I've applied an anti-fog product and in the rain it still gets foggy? My A/C is broken :(
Did you ensure your windshield was clean (ruclips.net/video/axI5Luw0Eos/видео.html) and then followed all the steps?
honestly i just turn on the ac compressor... even when turned all the way to heat it doesn't make it any cooler and still pulls humidity out
Thanks for this tip!!! Great job
Wow and thanks for all the testing. Good job
in another persons video the shaving foam works as best. so now i wonder what works better shavingcream or toothpaste
I've tried shaving cream and it didn't really work, it made it hard to see out.
Use a Cloth and not a Razor to clean it off first!
Yes windows ideally need to be clean first to get rid of the greasy blur but the common foaming agent called Sodium Laureth Sulphate will break down the oils if enough time is taken in removing the residue.
how long will this wirk for?? (how often does it have to be re applied?)
just subed btw. good videos👍
Great channel and such useful advice and tests....thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you; finally the solution. That was great!
