MikeWa Posted July 30, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2015 Ok.. A long long time ago (70s) in a land far far away (Seattle). I used to purchase anti fog towels at the auto parts store. They were laced with a chemical I can not remember. They were great. Just wipe off the fog and it wouldn't return for days. I used them in my truck and on my boat. Does anyone recall the active chemical. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted July 30, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 30, 2015 It was probably discontinued. If it worked that good the EPA made them stop making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted July 31, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 31, 2015 I asked the crew on a snorkeling trip what they used to keep the masks from fogging up and I was told the solution they had in the bucket they used was water with a little dishwashing soap. I haven't tried it on my motorcycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeWa Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted August 7, 2015 Well it finally came to me. The magic substance is, was, glycerin. I used to buy towels that had this on them. It would wipe the fog off of windows and keep it off for quite a while. I wonder if it will work on my Venture windshield or if a chemical reaction might be harmful.
