Any interior window fogging solution ??

I searched on this, but most threads were rather dated. I regularly clean the interior windows of my DD with Stoners Invisible Glass and it works great during the warmer months, but now that it's cold outside my interior windows fog like there is no tomorrow once any moisture starts falling outside.



Any tips, tricks or products to help with this? I'm not a fan of turning the front/rear defroster on and off every 10 minutes.



Thanks in advance.
 
That's why your a/c is tied into your defogger, the a/c helps dry the air. Not much you can do in cool weather and high humidity.

Replaced at dealership 2 months ago so that's not helping :(.

Thx!



I saw this up on another board and it prompted my post.



"Apply Adams' Brilliant Spray Glaze to the windows, inside and out. Let haze for 30 minutes, then remove. (Keeps the glass from fogging, and keeps the glass sealed, so water beads, and runs off the windscreen.)"



Not too worried about the outside, the inside is my issue. Is it worth it ? or maybe I just misread the post....



Thanks for putting up with a noob.
 
Interior fogging is from high humidity, I've been fighting it for weeks now (I'm sure ScottWax has too) and it's just a PITA. What Scott was saying is if you have interior fogging while driving turn on the AC, the temp can be set hot or cold it doesn't matter. The AC will take the humidity out of the air and eliminate the fog. Side note: if you are having trouble cleaning the widows because of humidity use the same solution.



Exterior fogging is from the outside temp not matching the inside temp, for example if it is 30 outside and you blast your heater on the windshield the exterior will fog up due to condensation.



I personally don't know of any product that eliminates fogging completely, it would be like having a glass drink cup that doesn't condensate. In the weather we have here in N. Texas I will wax the ouside windows rather than use a cleaner because the wax wipes clean and dry. Maybe that is what your product is stating. If that's all it does, just use the wax you already own instead.
 
One thing to AVOID is using Rain-X Anti-Fog. I was also looking for a solution to windshield fogging and ran across this product. Just wanting to save you a headache in case this product was one that you may have been considering.
 
I know one of the home remedies that work is using shaving cream on the interior glass. Buff the shaving cream into the glass until it disappears and your windows will be fog free. The shaving cream is suppose to act like a surfactant an not all the fog to build up.

Your post just reminded me of something. When I was getting certified for SCUBA, the instructor would tell us whenever you buy a new mask, to rub toothepaste on the inside of the lens, let it sit for a few minutes, then buff out. This would prevent your mask from fogging up during a dive. It definitely worked.



Now I'm not saying it will work on automotive glass but hey, it's an idea! :LOLOL
 
Running the a/c is much more applealing than smearing crap all over the interior of the windshield. It also circulates the refrigerant oil to keep your seals fresh.

Cool never knew that. I always wondered why my AC automatically turned on whenever I turned on the defrosters.
 
Compressed, condensed, and evaporated air from the vehicle's Air-Conditioning system effectively neutralizes water vapor in the cabin's atmosphere, which in turn reduces and eliminates fogging. Even in winter with the heater blasting at full power, you would still need to turn on the A/C for this effect to reduce fogging. If your car is equipped with an automatic climate control, it automatically does it for you, and you would not be able to override this function.



If your car is not equipped with A/C, you would have to open the windows slightly with the interior fan blasting air from the outside.
 
I ordered a rain "repellant" today from PAC, the same company offers a anti fog thing. I didn't order that but it may be something to try out. I am going to try out the rain repellant to see how it compares to Aquapel. Heres the link to their products on PAC's site Glass Science-Rain Clear Products

Could you tell us why, specifically? I was actually going to pick some up from the auto store tomorrow.
 
why windows "fog"



Condensation commonly occurs when a vapor is cooled to its dew point. Water vapor that naturally condenses on cold surfaces into liquid water is called dew. Water vapor will normally only condense onto another surface when the temperature of that surface is cooler than the temperature of the water vapor



Basically there is always moisture in the air. When the moisture in your cars cabin meets the cool windows the moisture in the car reaches its dew point or "fogs" up your window. As stated before when you turn on your AC it will dry out the air in your car and change the dew point for the now that it is drier and a different temp. I should bust out my ol weather book and read it but I think ya'll get the point.



Should read up on it interesting stuff.
 
I hear that the AC "dries" the air.



So, hair dryers for women. You know how they blow out hot air?

Shouldn't they blow out cold air to dry hair? (Trying to figure out the logic here)



Same goes for laundry clothes dryers. Shouldn't they blow out cold air then?
