In dear old Blighty, autumn has hit with a vengeance. That means, wind, rain, coldness and a large amount of condensation on the inside of windscreens (windshields for those in the US).
The old chamois leather is so last century. I mean, who wants to spend their time rubbing away at the inside
of their car's windscreen simply to remove a small amount of water. Instead, the modern motor vehicle has a wiper mounted inside, that cleanly and effortlessly removes the condensation without smearmarks, without noisy blowers working away, and without having to sit in the car for five minutes trying not to breathe.

Where does the water go that the wipers remove? Does it just fling it all over your 'Rich Corinthian Leather'? Why not just buy yourself a squeegee and wipe it off? <link> |

my ex-boyfriend used to keep a stuffed toy cat on the dashboard, that I had given him - poor thing suffered from haemorroids from the treatment it got! |

[Klaatu] - //Where does the water go that the wipers remove?// into the small channels on the dashboard just inside the windscreen, draining out to the sides through one-way valves.
//Why not just buy yourself a squeegee and wipe it off?// a squeegee still requires manual effort. |

po: um, just what was he doing with it?! No, wait, don't tell me. |

Get out and walk PeterSilly, you idle bugger!
(refrains from posting Windscreen Viper - for deterring people from sticking leaflets and tickets under your wipers) |

Actually [DrB] - I usually do, the mile-and-a-half into work. It's a bit difficult to walk from Reading to Southampton... |

Get a product called Rain-X Anti-Fog and apply it to the inside of your windshield. Works wonders. |
|
| |
If there is any place selling paintball accessories, get some anti-fog treatment ... I can tell you from experience that the whole scene is obsessive about anti-fog |
|
| |
I'll bet its been done before, but in the paintball industry "anti-fog lenses" are the standard thickness Lexan lense with another inner plastic pane which keeps the area close to the actual lens cool and moisture free ... works like a CHAMP, and you can even buy them aftermarket for arround $5, if you didn't wanna pitch-in an exrta $20 for the factory stuff |
|
| |
Simply apply this to car windows ... they help resist damage on the inside of the windshield ... but for simplicity (and cost)'s sake its easier to go with [krelnik]'s idea |
