You come out to your car on a cold morning and the inside is completely fogged. You can’t see where you’re going, and when you do wipe a clear patch (barely big enough to see out of), it begins to fog again with your breathing. Breathing creates humidity, and it’s the water-rich air condensing on the cold surface that causes the fog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the solution? Certainly not holding your breath. The best plan is to dry the air. Here are the steps to get the quickest demisting action in your car:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Always carry a large, clean lint-free cloth for cleaning and wiping the windows (a window that’s dirty on the inside will fog up much quicker).<\/li>
  2. Always use the air conditioning set on outside, not recirculate, for rapid demisting<\/li>
  3. Always put the fan on maximum, and point the vents towards the windscreen<\/li>
  4. Always use the maximum heat available as this will evaporate the condensation much more quickly<\/li>
  5. If it’s not raining, open the windows to let fresh, drier air into the car<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You may have a button that changes the fan speed to maximum, turns on the air conditioning and redirects air to the windscreen. You’ll need to change the temperature and open the windows yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If there’s snow or ice on the outside of the windscreen, work on defrosting that first or the extreme cold on the screen will make the condensation issue worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The rear demister is usually a rectangle. This passes power through a series of fine wires that are either stuck to the glass or embedded in it. This warms the glass and evaporates the condensation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
