The ability to see the road while driving is one of the most important components of a successful, accident free, drive. As a result, it is critically important to make sure that your windows remain free of any impediments, so that you can see the road at all times. Among the most common causes of preventable window hazards is window Fogging. There are many sources of fogged windows, and thankfully, there are many solutions and techniques for solving this familiar problem.

The reason that auto windows fog is that there is a series of water droplets that are very dense, and all of these droplets stick to the glass and that’s really what generates the fog. Fog is created when the air has a great deal of moisture in it, and that moisture wants to stick to something, and the easiest host is your auto windshield and your rear windows.

A quick technique that will remove the moisture out of the air is already right in your car. If your automobile has air conditioning, set it to the defrost mode and watch it work to remove the fog. It cools and also pulls the water out of the air. Most autos have this feature for rear windows as well, so press the rear window defrost, and it will prevent your Car Windows from fogging for your rear windshield as well.

If you do not have air conditioning in your car, the way to remedy that pesky fog is to put a barrier between the glass and the air, so fog cannot stick. There are a couple of ways to do this with well known products. First, toothpaste will place this barrier and stop your car windows from fogging up. Put toothpaste on a cloth and wipe it on your interior windshield. Secondly, a potato will do the trick as well. Simply, cut the potato in half, and rub the freshly cut side on the interior window. You will most likely have both of these products around the house, which makes these choices very convenient.

Another product that is specifically designed to stop car windows from fogging up is Rain-X’s interior glass anti-fog spray or cream. It’s very simple to use. You spray or squeeze the anti-fogger on a cloth and wipe your windows from the interior. It reduces interior fogging and therefore improves your visibility. It can also be used on mirrors, boats and household bathroom mirrors as well. You can purchase this anti-fogger in most auto repair chain stores, big box stores, or from your favorite online retailer.

Remember that sometimes, it can be less humid on the outside of the car than it is on the inside. Or, you may have passengers breathing warm breath directly on the glass. If this is the case, and it’s not raining outside, just roll down the windows and this will dry the air out and prevent your windows from forming condensation, which could lead to fog.

Also, a friendly reminder that you should try not to leave wet items in your vehicle. This includes the trunk as well. Damp items are a breeding ground for an environment that creates fog.

Whether it is the front window, the side windows or the rear window, avoiding any fog will give you that much needed comfort when driving. Therefore, make sure that you prevent your windows from fogging by keeping these measures in mind before you take your next drive.
