How to Remove Fog from a Car Windshield

Preventing Fog on Your Windshield.The fog on a windshield is condensation that occurs when moisture condenses on the warmer side of a surface—in this case, your windshield. The temperature difference determines which side of the windshield the condensation collects on.

1.Use silica cat litter. Fill a sock with silica cat litter. Tie off the end with a piece of string, and then place one or two full socks near the front of your dashboard. This should absorb the moisture inside your car over night, preventing any fog buildup.

2.Apply shaving cream to your windshield. Use the type of shaving cream that foams up when you squirt it out of the can or bottle. Spray a small amount of cream onto a soft cotton cloth and spread it over your entire windshield. Use a clean, dry rag to wipe it off. This should create a moisture barrier on your window, preventing fog build up.

3. Roll your windows down if you can. If your car is in a secure area, roll your windows down about a half inch or so. This allows some outside air to get in to the car, and can prevent the windshield from fogging.
   This method is best for the summer time, since you don’t want to risk any ice or snow getting into your car during the winter.

4.To remove fog/moisture, get a room temperature cloth and wipe the inside of the windows with it. If your windows leak, get a window screen cover (the ones you normally use to stop frost) and put that on.

5. Dry the windshield. Use a fresh, clean microfiber cloth. If you use a dirty or washed cloth you risk scratching the glass of your windshield. Dry the glass using smooth, circular motions. Press gently into the glass as you wipe to remove any stubborn dirt particles on the glass. Work in small sections but work quickly; if the cleaning fluid dries on its own it can leave fresh streaks.
   •If you don’t have microfiber cloths, consider buffing the windshield dry with newspaper. The newsprint won’t leave lint marks and the ink polishes the windows to a shine.
   •Don’t let the windshield dry on this own. This is how those pesky streaks are created in the first place.
