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.
@@MsOneironaut I used to ride a motorcycle and I used dish soap on my visor (I'm in the UK and Fairy Liquid was the best one) and it does work but you have to reapply every week to 10 days.

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.
like any shaving gel ? or does it need specific compound in it to work and how long does it last on non moving glass surfaces? like front and rear windo? @@johnlgirvan8956
Shaving "GEL" used in this video Not Shaving "Cream" as described FYI i tried both on my windscreen and the GEL is definitely the way to go, forget the cream. Thanks mate, i learned something new today thumbs up from me :)
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! 👍🏻
@@patjohns1179 Ummmmm, cracking a window during high humidity, especially when its pouring down rain, is a good way to allow excessive moisture into the cabin of the vehicle, leading to moisture damage for sure. I do not suggest just cracking a window, unless you live in the dry, cold desert and have very low humidity to begin with!..
@@patjohns1179 doesn't work at all when you live in a cold country. Humidity from snow under your shoes is still less than humidity outside, + you don't want snow/rain through your window.
Could you revisit this perhaps with some different products to compete against the old winners, and perhaps do a longer-term test to see how long the effects last?
My experience with shaving cream is definitely re-apply it every couple weeks. I found that the UV rays will bake it onto the glass and create a horrible film that causes lots of glare and is tough to clean. Its especially dangerous during a rainy/snowy night...just my experience! Maintain that thin slick layer!
I had my windshield replaced. I don't know what that guy used to clean it after he installed it. But I have had glare issues and some gross looking film on the windshield ever since ! 😣😠 and been too afraid to try anything on for fear of making it worse.
I'm going to try the shaving gel...My windows always fog over when my dog is in the car...he breathes so heavy, especially after a run in the park....do I shave him before or after his run ?
All to demonstrate why the product that was created to fix the problem is usually your best bet. 😀 No, everyone doesn't have shaving cream in their home. We sure don't. Never have. My husband has a beard. I've known him 42 years and he's always had a beard. Not a can of shaving cream in sight! 😂 However, we HAVE and DO buy products for our cars. Rain-x is one of them. I love Rain-x windshield cleaner, as well their windshield wiper fluid. Have not used the indoor defogger yet, but thanks to your video, I might have to now!😀
Maybe you’re unsafe driver. Did you pass driving test first time or after many tries. Please keep within the speed limits at most times and especially if there’s kids and single moms taking their loved ones to school. Thanks.
To prevent moisture from fogging the glass, a lubricating agent is needed. This is also the common ingredient of the materials used. The hand sanitizer failed completely, because it contains some kind of alcohol, which is an excellent fat-dissolving agent. So instead of adding any oil, it removes it.
Fun fact: Anti fog you can get at walmart is cheap. So just go get the stuff that is made to keep your glass from fogging. I got a big bottle for $4 and it lasts longer than all this stuff
Every time I went out in winter ❄️, my face started getting cold 🥶........ ...... Now I go out after shaving 🪒 and it never gets cold. ..... Thank you Chris 👍
@@reyariass yes it isn't. The rainX also tried. It lasted 10 seconds only before you need to apply it again. C'mon within 1 minute you need to apply 6 times.
I don't understand how you only have 90,000 subs but these other guys out there that put out videos not even half the quality and clarity of yours have more. As always, great job on the video Chris!
Chinesefoodrocks1521 Thanks a lot bud! I am working hard to make videos that are easy to follow, helpful, and fun. I have fun doing it and you guys like it so I am happy. The subs will come with the quality (I hope)!
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.
Literally turn your heat on the windshield setting or floor/windshield setting. Using the setting where air comes out the front or front/floor you will get fog. In the summer for AC you just keep the cool air coming out the front or front/floor. Dont use paper towels on glass use a cloth towel. Paper towels are made from wood fibers. It scratches your glass.
I did the shaving cream last week(1-12-19), works amazingly well! Thanks brother, your videos are great for us regular folks living on a budget!👍👏😎 EDIT* I used regular old shaving cream not the gel kind. So both types work.
How is using an item that is more expensive than anti fog living on a budget? Walmart sells it by the gallon for just a few dollars, which is far cheaper than using shaving cream.
@@Lordwerwulf That tiny bottle of RainX interior fog treatment is most certainly not a gallon. You're confusing that with windshield washer fluid. 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.
@C W you hit the nail on the head. I keep telling my son money doesn't grow on trees. I bought anti fog from AutoZone for my inside windshield. Today I'm a put some on my driver's side door window. It's a spray bottle it works good.
Basically, if you have a clear substance on your windows that has hydrophobic regions, the water vapor (H2O) will not make 'hydrogen bonds' and therefore will not fog up the windows. Also the reason why the hand sanitizer (with an alcohol substance, hydroxyl -OH group) fogged up - because the water in the steam made hydrogen bonds with the alcohol. Science.
This is a good tip. But if you jist want to get from A to B, just turn the cold air on the windshield for some 3-5 min and the fluid on the glass will dissapear. The glass are fpgging in winter due to the cold temperature outside and warm temeprature inside the car.
Kinda sad the hand sanitizer didn't work, because that's the one thing of these I always have in my car :D Very informative video though, RUclips only recommended it 7 years later, but still. Thank you! :)
I am not surprised that sanitizer didn't work. Its primarily Isopropyl Alcohol, so it does an excellent job of cleaning the glass, so there's nothing there to stop the fogging.
Thank you so much for this video. I used the shaving cream and it works perfectly. I bought it for $1 and used microfiber cloths to apply and remove the shaving cream. I used it first on the windshield and all my windows except the windshield fogged up the next morning. I've since used it on the rest of my windows, including my bathroom mirror. Very fast to apply and remove and it works great! (and smells nice too) Your video made my month!
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!
@@DivineLightPaladin It's in winter when it works best! I'll bet the inside-air quality in your car is worse than the air that you are bringing in from outside. If it's not, then, well, you need to move because it's unhealthy to live where you do.
I've done all this except the ac, cause you can't turn on what you don't have, but my windows still fog up like crazy every winter. I'll try the shaving cream before my night shift tonight. Anything is better than what I currently have.
Lets fight the disease, not the symptoms. Before doing this check and clean all the ventilation holes in your car. Car ventilation system is designed to move air from the front to rear, then exhaust it from rear holes in car body, exhaust holes are under rear bumper, so almost nobody checks and cleans them, also check air filters and replace it if needed, do it regularly, for example once a year or with every oil change. Some cars have two air filters - one inside and one outside the car, usually in area above windscreen, under plastic cover. Also A/C not only cools incoming air, it dries it, so it helps to get rid of moisture so use it.
Look at me. Now back at your car. Now back at me. Now back at your car. Sadly, your car doesn't look like me. But if you switched to cleaning your windows with shaving cream, your car could smell like me. I'm on a road.
Try overlaying the glass with wood. Will stop the moisture getting to the glass. Even better, while not fogged up, take a photo out of each window. Print them out, glue them onto the wood. Because wood alone would look silly. If the photos fog up, add a second layer of wood.
Hooked On Diesel Honestly, superglue works best. I'm surprised he didn't use it, but maybe he just didn't have any on hand at the time. I wouldn't want to drive out in that snow just to buy superglue. Good luck!
I like to just use a stone to scratch the lines on. It's pretty handy because it's permanent so once you put them on once you don't need to worry about doing it again.
The original RainX was derived from potato oil. The family that developed it had been using potatoes on their windshields for years before trying to market it.
Craig Brown Last time I tried to shave my toes I lost balance and broke my neck. Now I can burn all hairs below neckline and feel nothing. Very convenient :)
@Arnis Tarassu. Yes! You can shave with rain X. I use it all the time. I usually have my girlfriend come over and shave my p#!$@&:! for me and when she is done the water just runs off in a sec. The only bad thing about shaving with rain X is that I guess it leaves a bad taste in your 👄. Other then that! hey! I recommend it. Give it a try and get back to me, I know you be thankful.😂😂😂😂
+ChrisFix How many hours in advance can you do the top 2 fixes. Can I do it at 9pm at night and come outside at 7am and it work just like it did for you on your 30 minute test ?
Basically the best thing that works is making your window hydrophobic, (which is what rainx does) shaving cream is also partly hydrophobic, which is why it works so well. You can buy hydrophobic sprays (mostly for clothing), which work way better then both shaving cream and rain x. It's also the same as what wax does on the outside of the car when you apply. It creates a barrier for water to repel. I have special windscreen wipers that apply that constantly and god does it make driving good.
I've heard that cat litter in a sock will prevent fogging. I've heard you can keep the sock under the seat or place it on the dash. The theory is that the cat litter absorbs all the moisture in the air.
2015: posted 2016: meh 2017: nope 2018: nah 2019: *The almighty Algorithm has brought us all together to prep for winter!* Me: You bestow me this knowledge NOW!?
If you dont want to use any products try this: Before parking your vehicle for the night you open up all windows for 2 minutes. Like when you are parking, thats already enough. It gets the warm, humid akr out and lets cold, dry air in. In really works wonders.
Mehdi Yasaee only problem is that this takes some time, especially if your car doesn't have remote start so you have to go out in the cold to start it and wait for the fog, unless you want to drive with foggy windows
Rob K A/C or better still, climate control dehumidifies regardless of temp selected. A/C has a bottom limit as below that you're looking at refrigeration...6deg C I think.
reply to: Clachan a Choin Sixteen hours of hugging my toilet, convinced me to stop adding RainX to my mixed drinks. My wife claims my eyes have been noticeably foggier since then.
When I learned to drive 44 years ago, the first thing the instructor told me to do was to open a window just a crack to allow the humid air from your breath leave the car.
Thanks Chris! You have the best tips around for everything car related!! Keep up the good work. You are always so positive and it can be heard in your voice the enthusiasm you have for helping people. Thank you!!
In winter turning on Ac about 5 minutes before reaching your destination also helps. AC dries the air so there is no much humidity to fog your windows.
VERY GOOOOD but I have my own tested tip: Use the car's air condition, heat or cool, to do the work for you, anytime you want. Point the air blowing to the glass you want and keep it open.
but if you want to not damage the AC you should use it after engine warms up. Before that time you could have premature AC problems. If I want to defog my windows fast and at the same time keep my car in good condition (parts damage), thats the way to go. Hope it helped :)
Great demonstration but what's wrong with using the car's ventilation system ? Set the flaps on the dashboard vents to direct warm air onto the windscreen and windows.
Shaving cream is also good for all your plastic trim and dashboard and wide panels, and is much cheaper and works better and shines longer than the crap they sell you..
+Indrekk Pringi Thanks for sharing. Never heard of that. I would be careful with using stuff on your dash though: ruclips.net/video/axI5Luw0Eos/видео.html
+Indrekk Pringi It has nothing to do with toxisity. Oils in the shaving cream will evaporate and the residue will dirty your glass as shown in that video I sent you.
+ChrisFix You've been listening to too many commercials and toxicity is not spelled toxisity. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Do a comparison test and put it up here on youtube: then you prove what you say instead of just guessing.
+Indrekk Pringi Do you REALLY have to knock Chrisfix so much in your comments? He is doing a great job with the tips that he shows. So he spelled ONE word wrong, so what. That isn't the point of what he is doing. He asked a simple question about what you said, that's all.
I have been using microfibre cloth dampened with dish soap and water to clean (degrease) the glass then a dry microfibre to wipe it off .. windows still fog up but the defrost setting on the car’s hvac system de-fogs it pretty quick
Hey Chris did you know if you put cat litter in a sock (about 2 cups) and tie it off and put in on the floor of the car, it stops the windows from fogging up too? Try it, it works vey well!!
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.
Great video! I drive Uber and whenever a passenger gets in the car it changes the temperature in the car and it always fogs, I think rain x is the best bang for your buck and effort. Great video!
For germs!!.. what kinda question is this? Lol Cops used it all the time before covid because they're constantly hand cuffing ppl. And then there's the germaphobes!!
@@SandraJanetRubio does sanitizer help keep your germs clean and safe? Hope they are clean and you don't have to be afraid of them! PS LOL? U R teenager?
@@smert_rashistskiy_pederacii hand sanitizer is a good alternative when you're out in the stores, etc and you can't wash your hands with soap and water. For me, before covid19 i always washed my hands. Not because of germs but because i like having my hands and nails clean. Lol
Super useful video, love the fact that you sectioned it off to show how well each one worked. I bought the first products. Ive used shaving foam in my bathroom mirror but it does take ages to buff away. I also got one of those moisture absorbing packs will see how the combo goes
I think the biggest issue is that folks don’t keep fresh air flowing through the interior. If you do that moisture will not build up in your vehicle. No moisture, no foggy windows. Of course the vehicle does need to be moving.
I learned this in kindergarten. My teacher had a thing for shaving cream. We would do our math in shaving cream on our desk and wipe it up for a nice shine. Works great on your bathroom mirror!
Another tip, if you're windows are fogged up, open your drivers side window an inch, after a few minutes of driving the windows should defog. Downside of course is you drive with fogged up windows for a little bit, so I'd only recommend if you live on a quiet street and can semi see through the fog.
If a car fogs up inside during any conditions there's either something wrong with the climate control settings/filter or there is too much moisture in the car. Usually wet carpets in the foot wells from melting snow or wet boots. Correct these issues and problem solved.
I don't get why people are giving you flack for this. I'd never take the time to test this out so I appreciate you doing so and posting about it. Cheers
Hey Chris, when I used to scuba dive, I used to use my spit in my mask and then rinse it out in the water and she stayed pretty clean all the time was diving. Thank you for your comments. I’ll try them on my windows probably the shaving cream thank you for the tips again.
Shaving cream appears to work well, but I would get frustrated with all of that extra buffing. I've used Rain-X for decades on my ski goggles and it lasts a long time, plus it's quick and easy to apply. Great video, though. Thank you for the experiment.
What works well for me is to simply keep my interior as dry as possible in the winter. If you have access to a heated garage in the evening, ( or occasionally ) always leave a couple of windows down overnight, and dump snow or water out of floor mats. Constantly dry out the interior at any opportunity. When warming up the vehicle, keep a window near any occupant down a crack. Also try not to let snow into your air intake grill when parked outside...after you drive a bit with the heat on, and that moisture hits your warm heater coil, you got fog.
I love how even 7 years later, Chris is still checking the comments. Actions of a great youtuber.

I don't have shaving cream, I use electric shaver... Can I use electric shaver to prevent fogging?
hahahaa
😆👍👍
Yes but it's a different application method. Hit the window very hard with the shaver. You won't have to worry about fog in said window ever again.
Homme Des Cavernes wait, won't that scratch the window?
Not if your window has whiskers.
My experience with shaving cream is definitely re-apply it every couple weeks. I found that the UV rays will bake it onto the glass and create a horrible film that causes lots of glare and is tough to clean. Its especially dangerous during a rainy/snowy night...just my experience! Maintain that thin slick layer!
Def clean it off real good
I had my windshield replaced. I don't know what that guy used to clean it after he installed it. But I have had glare issues and some gross looking film on the windshield ever since ! 😣😠 and been too afraid to try anything on for fear of making it worse.

To prevent moisture from fogging the glass, a lubricating agent is needed. This is also the common ingredient of the materials used.
The hand sanitizer failed completely, because it contains some kind of alcohol, which is an excellent fat-dissolving agent. So instead of adding any oil, it removes it.
As water is soluble in alcohol, it just sticks to it. No wonders when you look at it from a chemist's perspective
Nice quick useful video with no filler, straight to the point - excellent.
Thanks!
Yeah, I totally love that, so, so, so rare!
So I put the shaving cream on, but the sound of my razor across the glass is unbearable...

Fun fact: Anti fog you can get at walmart is cheap. So just go get the stuff that is made to keep your glass from fogging. I got a big bottle for $4 and it lasts longer than all this stuff
Right and Shaving GEL is not cheap, you need to pay $3 at least.

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.
Thanks for sharing!
Literally turn your heat on the windshield setting or floor/windshield setting. Using the setting where air comes out the front or front/floor you will get fog. In the summer for AC you just keep the cool air coming out the front or front/floor.
Dont use paper towels on glass use a cloth towel. Paper towels are made from wood fibers. It scratches your glass.

Obrian Thinline maybe they won’t all work the same. I have some at home but it’s the foam type. This is more of a liquid

He said "special". Here the special is anti fog one. Shaving cream is multipurpose.
I did the shaving cream last week(1-12-19), works amazingly well! Thanks brother, your videos are great for us regular folks living on a budget!👍👏😎
EDIT* I used regular old shaving cream not the gel kind. So both types work.
For how many days it work ?
How is using an item that is more expensive than anti fog living on a budget? Walmart sells it by the gallon for just a few dollars, which is far cheaper than using shaving cream.
clayton stutler prob because 90 percent of what walmart sells for cheap ruins what it’s suppose to fix
@@Lordwerwulf That tiny bottle of RainX interior fog treatment is most certainly not a gallon. You're confusing that with windshield washer fluid.
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.
@C W you hit the nail on the head. I keep telling my son money doesn't grow on trees. I bought anti fog from AutoZone for my inside windshield. Today I'm a put some on my driver's side door window. It's a spray bottle it works good.
Basically, if you have a clear substance on your windows that has hydrophobic regions, the water vapor (H2O) will not make 'hydrogen bonds' and therefore will not fog up the windows. Also the reason why the hand sanitizer (with an alcohol substance, hydroxyl -OH group) fogged up - because the water in the steam made hydrogen bonds with the alcohol. Science.
some waxes, cats, people that cant swim
"basically"
This is a good tip. But if you jist want to get from A to B, just turn the cold air on the windshield for some 3-5 min and the fluid on the glass will dissapear. The glass are fpgging in winter due to the cold temperature outside and warm temeprature inside the car.
Kinda sad the hand sanitizer didn't work, because that's the one thing of these I always have in my car :D Very informative video though, RUclips only recommended it 7 years later, but still. Thank you! :)
I am not surprised that sanitizer didn't work. Its primarily Isopropyl Alcohol, so it does an excellent job of cleaning the glass, so there's nothing there to stop the fogging.
@@WaynesWorld999 makes sense to me, thanks for the explanation
Thank you so much for this video. I used the shaving cream and it works perfectly. I bought it for $1 and used microfiber cloths to apply and remove the shaving cream. I used it first on the windshield and all my windows except the windshield fogged up the next morning. I've since used it on the rest of my windows, including my bathroom mirror. Very fast to apply and remove and it works great! (and smells nice too) Your video made my month!
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!
Wow. You must be a genius
How to do this in winter when you want to run heat and not pull in dirty coal rolling air? 😝
@@DivineLightPaladin It's in winter when it works best! I'll bet the inside-air quality in your car is worse than the air that you are bringing in from outside. If it's not, then, well, you need to move because it's unhealthy to live where you do.
Lmao recirc is what keeps my windows from fogging.
I've done all this except the ac, cause you can't turn on what you don't have, but my windows still fog up like crazy every winter. I'll try the shaving cream before my night shift tonight. Anything is better than what I currently have.
Lets fight the disease, not the symptoms. Before doing this check and clean all the ventilation holes in your car. Car ventilation system is designed to move air from the front to rear, then exhaust it from rear holes in car body, exhaust holes are under rear bumper, so almost nobody checks and cleans them, also check air filters and replace it if needed, do it regularly, for example once a year or with every oil change. Some cars have two air filters - one inside and one outside the car, usually in area above windscreen, under plastic cover. Also A/C not only cools incoming air, it dries it, so it helps to get rid of moisture so use it.

Try overlaying the glass with wood. Will stop the moisture getting to the glass.
Even better, while not fogged up, take a photo out of each window. Print them out, glue them onto the wood. Because wood alone would look silly.
If the photos fog up, add a second layer of wood.
Ridiculous idea
Weight of the wood reduces handling and performance, use carbon fibre or aluminium instead

I like to just use a stone to scratch the lines on. It's pretty handy because it's permanent so once you put them on once you don't need to worry about doing it again.
Remove the window or just shatter it with a hammer that way you don’t need any tape.

Does shaving cream have to be gel? Or does regular cream work?
i use just a dab of the foam on the bathroom mirror. doesnt steam up,but i do get water droplets all over.
DAB
Randy Beltran I've tried cream on my bathroom mirror but didn't work very well. Maybe it has to be gel.
Basically the best thing that works is making your window hydrophobic, (which is what rainx does) shaving cream is also partly hydrophobic, which is why it works so well.
You can buy hydrophobic sprays (mostly for clothing), which work way better then both shaving cream and rain x. It's also the same as what wax does on the outside of the car when you apply. It creates a barrier for water to repel.
I have special windscreen wipers that apply that constantly and god does it make driving good.
Thanks for sharing!
Where do u buy hydrophobic spray
Gotta try that
@@emilioescobedo3024 Standard Rain-X.
I've heard that cat litter in a sock will prevent fogging. I've heard you can keep the sock under the seat or place it on the dash. The theory is that the cat litter absorbs all the moisture in the air.

If you dont want to use any products try this:
Before parking your vehicle for the night you open up all windows for 2 minutes. Like when you are parking, thats already enough.
It gets the warm, humid akr out and lets cold, dry air in. In really works wonders.
I use my AC but on warm setting. the AC dehumidifies the air so all fog is removed.
Mehdi Yasaee only problem is that this takes some time, especially if your car doesn't have remote start so you have to go out in the cold to start it and wait for the fog, unless you want to drive with foggy windows
if you turn it on as you enter then it should be fine, otherwise it takes usually 1-2mins
vou are absolutely right
Mehdi Yasaee bingo!
Rob K A/C or better still, climate control dehumidifies regardless of temp selected. A/C has a bottom limit as below that you're looking at refrigeration...6deg C I think.
In Russia, they have run a test on the same 5 products to see which gets you the most drunk.
Clachan a Choin just get enough potatoes and make some vodka

Karen silverman
reply to: Clachan a Choin
Sixteen hours of hugging my toilet, convinced me to stop adding RainX to my mixed drinks.
My wife claims my eyes have been noticeably foggier since then.
There are some people in Russia who drink windshield washer fluid just because vodka is too expensive. Do not try this at home.
"We'll tape off the window to test each product." I keep listening, but give a thumbs up.
When I learned to drive 44 years ago, the first thing the instructor told me to do was to open a window just a crack to allow the humid air from your breath leave the car.

Use the shaving cream on your bathroom mirror.
I'm going to try on my eyeglasses
I'll try it on my clouded mind.
Such a cool tip Imma try that
I'll try it on my contact lenses.
Use your shaving cream to shave
In winter turning on Ac about 5 minutes before reaching your destination also helps. AC dries the air so there is no much humidity to fog your windows.
Thanks for the tip!!!
Use the AC. Yes, even in the winter. The AC keeps the moisture level down.
I tried shaving cream on my bathroom mirror, works well enough but instead of fogging up it gets streaky. Good enough to see what you're doing :)
VERY GOOOOD but I have my own tested tip:
Use the car's air condition, heat or cool, to do the work for you, anytime you want.
Point the air blowing to the glass you want and keep it open.
but if you want to not damage the AC you should use it after engine warms up. Before that time you could have premature AC problems. If I want to defog my windows fast and at the same time keep my car in good condition (parts damage), thats the way to go. Hope it helped :)
Wow. Almost 10 years later this pops up on my feed.
I knew about the shaving cream, I just wanted to find something longer lasting.
Great demonstration but what's wrong with using the car's ventilation system ? Set the flaps on the dashboard vents to direct warm air onto the windscreen and windows.
Nothing is wrong. You can do that if that works for you!
Shaving cream is also good for all your plastic trim and dashboard and wide panels, and is much cheaper and works better and shines longer than the crap they sell you..

Crazy 77
It'll probably even field test positive!!
Same thing goes with using charcoal briquettes. Attracts moisture. Use it in my old car parked for the winter.
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.
You are so right. I did this and it really makes a difference. Significantly less fog
Great video! I drive Uber and whenever a passenger gets in the car it changes the temperature in the car and it always fogs, I think rain x is the best bang for your buck and effort. Great video!

Well, how did it go?
@@kolbyhull3879 really did help I need to reapply actually I reckon one of my door seals is damaged maybe why my car gets so steamed up
I think the biggest issue is that folks don’t keep fresh air flowing through the interior. If you do that moisture will not build up in your vehicle. No moisture, no foggy windows. Of course the vehicle does need to be moving.
I learned this in kindergarten. My teacher had a thing for shaving cream. We would do our math in shaving cream on our desk and wipe it up for a nice shine. Works great on your bathroom mirror!
Great idea.
Another tip, if you're windows are fogged up, open your drivers side window an inch, after a few minutes of driving the windows should defog. Downside of course is you drive with fogged up windows for a little bit, so I'd only recommend if you live on a quiet street and can semi see through the fog.
Well, thats the best tip to become a murderer. thanks man. Very wise
Just tried this and now I've got stubble on all my windows.
Thats what you get for paying attention to this. Windows that are funky and still fog up. Have fun trying to drive at night with that bs.

If a car fogs up inside during any conditions there's either something wrong with the climate control settings/filter or there is too much moisture in the car. Usually wet carpets in the foot wells from melting snow or wet boots. Correct these issues and problem solved.

Shaving cream appears to work well, but I would get frustrated with all of that extra buffing. I've used Rain-X for decades on my ski goggles and it lasts a long time, plus it's quick and easy to apply. Great video, though. Thank you for the experiment.
What works well for me is to simply keep my interior as dry as possible in the winter. If you have access to a heated garage in the evening, ( or occasionally ) always leave a couple of windows down overnight, and dump snow or water out of floor mats. Constantly dry out the interior at any opportunity. When warming up the vehicle, keep a window near any occupant down a crack. Also try not to let snow into your air intake grill when parked outside...after you drive a bit with the heat on, and that moisture hits your warm heater coil, you got fog.
True test is rolling your window up and down and cleaning them to see if it holds up or not
