Anti-fog Your Car Windows

SKILL LEVEL 1

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.

Step 1 Clean your car windows

Clean the the inside of your car windows with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Dry the window thoroughly. Buff with a wad of newspaper.
Step 2 Treat the windshield

Apply a small amount of the anti-fog windshield spray to a clean, folded rag or paper towel. Wipe it across the glass and allow it to dry. Wipe off any remaining haze or smears with a damp paper towel.
Step 3 Repeat for window and mirrors

Repeat the process on all interior glass surfaces, including the rearview miror, side windows, sunroof and rear window.
Step 4 Reapply as needed

If you see any fog creeping in a month or so later, reapply the anti-fog windshield spray.
