How to Fog Proof Windows
Fog can appear on your car windows when the outside air and the inside air are drastically different temperatures. The condensation that occurs when the two types of air combine causes the glass to fog up. It's dangerous to drive with foggy windows and wiping the moisture away with your hand is not only distracting, but it creates streaks from the moisture and the oils on your hand. Prevent the fog from ever forming on your windows by applying a moisture-blocking barrier using a standard household item. Does this Spark an idea?
