[@sabledriver]

In very cold climates, you will get fog, or worse, ice, on the inside of the car windows. One way to minimize this is to knock as much snow off of your shoes and pants as you can when you get in. If the day is sunny, leave a window open a crack, so when the interior heats up during the day, all that water vapor can escape the car, instead of fogging or freezing in the inside of the windows. Ice on both sides of the window can make you late for work!! Thanks again for the videos, Scotty!

Since I never clean the interior of my windows, I've always had interior fogging issues. I accidentally discovered the AC trick years ago, so I've pretended to be a genius about it. I can't believe it's never occurred to me that dirty windows would attract/hold more condensation. Thank you, Scotty, for educating this numbskull! Think I'll go clean my windows now.

[@Frip36]

me too. i never understood why, in the winter, on defrost mode, using cold air worked better than warm air. It's cuz like Scotty said, the cold air dried the air/fog. And plus, the hot air wasn't really hot enough until the engine warmed up. I think the best thing to do is leave the windows cracked about a half inch. No harm no foul. (But perhaps no stereo come morning).

My first car was a 1978 Cobra ii. I used to hand wax it weekly with California Custom brand wax. I also used it on the outside of the glass and it acted as a great water repellant when it rained. I tried it on the inside of the glass also and it ended up being a great anti fog, especially after my heater core went bad.

Another great tip from a time tested, trustworthy and reliable source of wisdom, Scotty Kilmer! IG and Scott towels are also both time tested and reliable. (Heres a tip: A stitch in time saves 9: Instead of simply 'spray/wipe/done', best to buff until no streaks are visible. Spending a little more time and attention to detail will help ensure your windows stay looking great longer and reduce the overall times needed for reapplication.)

What a very good information Mr.Scott. greetings.

[@reversefloatingTbills]

Very true Scotty. I live in a country where winters are very cold and my car mechanic advised me to turn the air conditioner at least once a month during the cold winter days. I've noticed it worked pretty well with dehumidifying the front windshield, so I've been doing it for years and not once a month. My car is 21 years old and still the temperature of the air coming out from the vents is 9/10 Celsius during the hot summer months. Just one advice, when you spray whatever product in the car, better do it on a microfiber towel or even a paper towel first and not directly to the object in the car, as in this way you get some droplets on plastic or wood surface and you will need to spend more time after that clean them as well. I use 2 microfiber towels - one to apply the product and the other for the final cleaning.

Thanks Scotty for the excellent tips. Here in Canada, we have two more tips. If there is snow on your car, some would get in the air intake. When you first start up the car, start with the blower blowing towards the floor for a little while. Otherwise, all that snow and moisture would be blown up onto the windshield. Also, never turn the blower off when you don't need heating or cooling. Keep the blower on the floor and adjust the temperature to dry up the floor mats so there is less humidity to condense on the glass.
