This year I'm going to start early on trying to find an anti-fog spray. I need it for my face shield visor. Last year when the visor was fogging up, I would lift it up and try to tough it out with just my safety glasses, but I had to suffer from the small rocks and debris hitting my face. If you guys happen to know of a good anti-fog product that I could use on a large piece of clear plastic like a face shield visor, please let me know.
 
The RainX anti fog is an old standard. The best I can say is that it kind-of-works. I've used it on the inside of motorcycle helmets and goggles with mixed results. And my old Jaguar has no heat, so the anti fog is a must in the FL winters. As it is humid here, and condensation forms instantly inside my windshield. It must be applied when the surface is dry, well before the water condenses on the inside surface. And it seems to last at least a few days.

There are reports of it streaking and making a mess. Using a clean microfiber, I don't find that to be the case. It does leave a film, but thats the intention. Buff it after application and it's good 'nuff.

I raced sprint cars for 35 years. In the PacNW we have very cool/damp evenings in the spring and fall. Visor fogging was an issue! I tried everything..from RainX to the snowmobile stuff. It all "kind of" worked. An old veteran then told me he used Dawn. "Dawn, really?" Rub some Dawn on the inside, then just before going out buff it off with a clean towel. I never had a fogging issue after that!!
 
Soap bar - make an X on the surface and wipe it "clean" with a soft cloth. It leaves an anti-fog layer.
