hey all, its that annoyying time of the year when you've got to either run your car for a bit or get a microfibre cloth out and clear the inner screen,

its not so great for when i want to just jump in my car and drive, their is no leaking simple condensation, but its annoying when im jumping in my car for work and i cant see..

anyway... my car is in the garage atm but i bought myself one of these bags from ebay, wondering if anyone has one ? i know you can use rice, salt, silica beads etc, but this seemed fine to me,

as i say i don't have a leak its just simple condensation + living by the sea tends to make it more humid i guess.


i got the 1kg bag think this is about 200g

Rain-x also do a product that wipe on & buff up & is meant to stop the screen misting up.

I just rob the silica gel stuff from work. Go to any clothing store and ask for it.
I lob a load all over the place, mostly near the rear vents in the boot. My area gets very foggy nd damp. work fine, replace every two weeks or so.
Cat litter?

yeah cat litter wrapped in a pair of tights/socks works at odours and humidity,

obviously if you have a major leak etc its not going to do much,

the one ive bought you put in the micriowave/on top of radiatior or oven to take the moisture out of the stones, its meant to last around three months till you need to get rid of the moisture then its ready to go again,

ive recently been keeping my silica gel beads from trainers etc incase i drop my phone in water :p


it still wont stop fogging up when parked up with mates, well maybe if i buy about 20 of them lol.
