I dunno if you guys might know, but heres a shot...


does anyone know how to help prevent fog other then that rainx product? (i think its called fogx.. the one in the black bottle) thanks...

 

Windshield Haze or ‘Fog’:
The vinyl used on vehicle dashboards contain 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.

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 a/c system results in a stubborn haze or fog that forms a cohesive bond with the interior glass surfaces.
Glass cleaning Methodology
•Use Stoners Invisible Glass TM in a trigger spray bottle and mist the entire glass surface
•Allow the wetted surface dwell time, to enable the chemicals to break down the deposits that have out gassed from the vinyl, any smoke residue, or road dirt/grime that has entered via the AC system
Use two glass cleaning towels (or clean surgical towels) folded into quarters, use one to agitate the wetted surface, the second to dry the surface and pick up any residue.
•Always use the second towel in the opposite direction that you agitated with, this small difference reduces a lot of problems.
•If after cleaning there is still a persistent ‘fog / haze’ pour some Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) on to a clean dry cloth and agitate the surface film, fold towel to a clean surface and remove residue

Drying Pattern:
Use a different drying pattern for interior / exterior glass surfaces (i.e. horizontal for interior and vertical for exterior) utilizing this technique you can easily determine the location of any streaking.

 

well if your talking about good old window moisture - a thin! coast of dish soap should do the trick - used to use it in hockey masks.

 

RainX is a problem product. Would never use it on the windshield.

RainX has mineral cleaning ability and provides protection. I use it on the side windows and moonroof. I curse it, but gives a layer of protection, and cleans great.

I will try Klasse AIO on windows.

I got nasty water. Some of you got it much worse, with ground water landscape sprinklers spraying cars in full sun. Talk about minerals, eh?
