Anti-fog your car windows

by David Toht

It comes on little cat feet, the fog that obscures your vision through you car windows and only clears with a time-consuming blast of the defroster. In the winter it turns to frost — a mess to scrape and a real drag on your morning departure.

It need not be so. By applying an anti-fog treatment to the inside of your car windows, you can dramatically reduce condensation and frost.

Dave Toht is a car geek and former carpenter with more than 60 DIY books to his credit.
