How to keep your windshield fog-free
MassCarCare.com stations are all about keeping you safe. Being able to clearly see through your windshield is a safe-driving imperative. Here are some tips on how to do it:
- Keep your windows clean by wiping them every two weeks with glass cleaner. Vapor from interior plastic forms a film inside the windows that dims visibility and attracts moisture. By bringing your car in regularly to the Auto Detailing Boutique, we can take care of this for you.
- Cut down moisture by shaking water from your umbrella and knocking snow from your shoes before getting in your vehicle. With less moist air inside, there's less work for the climate control system to do.
- Don't recirculate air with the recirculation option on your climate control. By not allowing fresh air inside the car, the "old," warm, moist air stays inside longer; when it hits a cool glass surface of your window, your windshield fogs.
- Open the driver's side window a little. It won't defog the windshield, but it will help pull dry air over the side window, which can be a help, especially if your car doesn't have defrost vents for the side windows.
