How to Defog a Car in Summer?
2 Answers
For models with manual air conditioning, you can increase the temperature, set the fan speed to maximum, then activate the front window defogging function. Wait a few minutes to eliminate the fog. Mix dishwashing liquid and water in a 1:10 ratio, apply it with a cloth to the inside of the front and rear windshields, let it dry, and then wipe off any remaining water marks on the inside of the glass. Before use, clean the inside of the front windshield, spray an appropriate amount of anti-fog agent, wait for it to solidify, and then wipe it clean with a clean towel.
Summer car fogging is mainly caused by the air conditioning being turned on inside the car, where hot outside air condenses on the cold glass. Having driven for over a decade, I have several common methods to deal with this situation. The most straightforward approach is to turn on the air conditioning and set it to defog mode, or switch to external circulation with cool air to quickly remove moisture. If the fogging isn't too severe, I slightly open the windows to balance the temperature difference by allowing air circulation, though I always ensure not to open them too wide for safety while driving. Regularly cleaning the inside of the windows is also crucial, as dust buildup tends to trap moisture, making fogging more likely. I use professional anti-fogging agents to gently wipe the windows as a preventive measure. Additionally, placing a wet towel on the dashboard can worsen fogging, so I always remind myself not to do that. For safety, never rush to drive when the windows are fogged—always clear the fog properly before hitting the road, as impaired visibility is extremely dangerous.
