Recomendation for interior fog?

Besides using the A/c all the time Id like to know if there is a product on the market that prevents fog, Fog clear from glass science is temporary as in you apply when you see the fog and it is useless by the end of the day and rain-x's fog product doesn't work either. Anything besides those two?

Thanks,
Vik

 

The vinyl used on vehicle dashboards contain DEHP (diethylhexyl phthalate) plasticizers, these low molecular weight compounds maintain semi-rigid vinyl’s flexibility. The vinyl used in modern vehicle interiors vent (out-gassing) these are the plasticizers evaporating (more prevalent on newer vehicles or a dash with freshly applied vinyl dressing) Crack open vehicle windows when parked to allow the gasses to vent.

Ultra violet (UV) and heat radiation will also cause the plasticizers to dry out, resulting in a chemical film that when combined with road oils, dirt and grease introduced via by the vehicles AC system or smoker's residue, which results in a stubborn haze or fog that forms a cohesive bond with the interior glass surfaces.

Ensure that all cabin fabrics (seats, carpets and mats) are thoroughly dry; otherwise their moisture evaporation will exacerbate the problem

 

What are you using as your dash protectant?

 

Sonax Dashboard Cleaner or 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium are both Silicon-free (Silicon oil formulations are build-up type products which accelerate heat damage) interior cleaners for all vinyl / plastic parts reliably prevents electrostatic charges creating a dust repellent surface. Renews and maintains the matte and structured surface (soft-feeling effect) and leaves a pleasant fresh scent.

For protection use 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium, which includes UV protection, alternate by using a clean damp micro fibre towel

 

I use both the Sonax and 1Z cockpit detailers and they are one of the best IMO for leaving a factory look finish.

 

bump the above

 

Shaving cream works really well at reducing/eliminated fog. I use it all the time in the bathroom mirrors. It also dries clear.

 

Am I the only one thinking he needs to make sure he doesn't have the vents set to recirculate?

 

I recirculate the air in the winter and the temp is set to the hot setting with the a/c on so it dries out the air. The reason for the recirculation of air is because its alot warmer then if I were to use fresh air. also I use megs supreme shine which is otc for the dash.

 

This is sorta related. I have a 1972 VW Super Beetle. When all the heating components are in good shape, the heater should work really well. But my car is rusty, allowing moisture to get into the heater channels and causing my windshield and other windows to fog up fast--I also don't have a working defroster. Are there any products that I could apply to the windshield and other windows to keep the fogging to a minimum?

 

Plug the holes

 

I heard this recently as well...does it matter if it's the gel type or just the good old fashioned barbasol type?

 

haha, you're funny :crasy:

 

Rain x makes anti fog I use that on my cars with good results.

 

Sometime final wipe with distill water after clean makes fog much less. I have done this, and also with FK425 and FK146 and do not get fogs on my inside windows.

 

I would imagine that would be hell on tinted windows!

 

I use the gel one that turns into foam. I believe either one would work thought.

 

I read somewhere that you can use Adams spray glaze on an microfiber appliactor and apply it to the inside of your winshield ands it will help prevent your windshield from fogging up. You have to leave it on for a half hour then wipe off.
