MikeWa Posted July 30, 2015 #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
slowrollwv Posted July 30, 2015 #2 Posted July 30, 2015 It was probably discontinued. If it worked that good the EPA made them stop making it.
BlueSky Posted July 31, 2015 #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.
Snaggletooth Posted July 31, 2015 #4 Posted July 31, 2015 Ahh geesh! All those years I spent spitting in my dive mask I could have been selling it?
MikeWa Posted August 7, 2015 Author #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. Mike
