Anti-Fog Spray for Face Shield

[grasscutter]

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.

To avoid the fogging issue we use mesh face shields at work.

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.

Excellent advice! I will remember that if I ever get a motorcycle helmet.

I tried the Pyramex mesh face shield. Real nice product, but to my amazement, debris was still getting through.

I'm going to try that for the inside of my car window. How well does it work on clear plastic?

As a motorcyclist, and it being past my bedtime, I made an assumption and didn't realize this wasn't in the M/C forum.

Nevermind...

No I appreciate the recommendation. I plan on learning how to drive a motorcycle hopefully sometime before my life is over.

We use the stihl ones and a little debris does still get through but it’s lost its velocity and as long as you’ve got safety glasses on it’s normally fine.

I understand that divers use their saliva (spit) on inside of goggles or mask, should work if there is no soap at hand.

As a long time snowmobiler all those anti fog products and try this stuff are a joke in cold weather. Nothing beats a heated visor.
Simple science, warm moist breath condenses on a cold surface. Double lens visors do help some in above freezing cool temps. Don't sneeze LOL.
Cooler weather M/C riding I use one of my dual lens visor snowmobile helmets.

Motorcycle magazine has a great write up from a few years back. I've had good luck with Cat Cr*p brand (Is that sensorable?) Most of the scca drivers use it as their go to as replacement helmet visors are expensive. I don't think the Get G green anti fog is still around. I had to order that from granger. There is also Key Smart brand fog block. PM me as I tested a few of these out a few years back.

I did pick up a dry "anti fog" towel for masks but can't find it now. No clue how it worked.
