Suggestion needed for decent anti-mist window treatment..

[Gerard <gerard@poboxes.com>]

Hi!

My windows have been fogging up something awful over the last few
weeks. Sometimes it is not so much misty as being covered in
huge water droplets (almost more water on the inside of the windows
that on the inside!). I took the opportunity during yesterday's
sunshine to wash off a month's worth of traffic dirt and spent an
hour scrubbing the windows. It seems the entire thing was lined
with some sort of grime. I then used a Holt's AntiFog cloth, which
I got from one of the local NAPA stores, it is just a cloth that was
soaked in some Holt's AntiFog fluid and left to dry, when you apply
it to a moist window it will then obviously apply itself.

After all this cleaning (2:30pm - 6pm! which included a rather nasty
cut to my finger when scraping it on the tailpipe when cleaning the
rear skirts! ouch!) I went out with a few friends to see a movie, get
coffee and head to Camps Bay beach at 3am. The windows fogged again.
I tried the defogger, but not much luck. Tried hot and cold settings
and also just running the windows down. No luck. Even used the
anti-mist thing on the fogged windows, but they fogged up a little
later.

I would like to know what anti-misting products listers recommend.
I have tried the Holts anti-mist fluid before, but gave up 'cos it
didn't go on too well.

Has anyone used a product called "Auri" or "AuriShine"? This is a car
polish of sorts and also has anti-mist properties on glass. It was
advertised on TV some years ago and I recently saw it again. It is
something like $40 for 2 bottles and is supposedly very good, but I'd
like to first hear if anyone has used it and whether it is worth it.
Heck, I'd buy it just for the name! :) It is a protective paint
sealant kind of thing as well, don't know if it is one of those Teflon
products, but doubt it.

Another thing, my radiator fan is a bit faulty and I need to run my
A/C to control temperatures. The AC is out of gas anyway, so I'm
beginning to think this fogging thing might be related to some other
fault in the AC or venting system, maybe a faulty air dryer somewhere.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

G.
