How do you keep them from fogging up. I bought No Glare/No Fog lenses.

Do not use rainx, it makes the windshield glare if you do any night racing. Also, your shoe polish will not stick to it. The way I keep my windshield from fogging is to either keep it warm or put a towel over the vents in the car. It's deffinetly a problem, but don't use chemicals, it will take for ever to get the windshield clear again.

Go to a sporting goods store that sells snow skiing equipment. They likely sell a rag that is treated that works on the inside if goggles, Should work on glasses too.
My father in law was an old trucker and he used to keep a block of chew with him and he would wipe the windshield with it and claimed it would not fog. I never tried that.

Most dive shops sell defog for scuba masks. It should also work for glasses. I wear glasses but have not had problems with fogging. I wear an open faced helmet though. Believe it of not your own saliva is an excellent defog. Thats what i use on my scuba mask and it keps my mask clear. Spit on your lenses, rub it around on the lense then rinse and dry. This is an old diver trick. Give it a try!!!

Windex sells anti-fog glass cleaner. I keep it in the trailer
Works well on eyeglasses, windshields, and back glass (for those of us who have to look back)
If you are at West Palm this weekend, I'll let you try some

Chip, the best thing I found is called Lasik eye surgery you will never get fogged up again and you won't ever have to figure out where you laid them glasses down at last. The guy who done mine is in Wilmington if you would like the info pm me. James lol

Re: Glasses
 

Rain X, Eagle One both make a No Fog product. I used both of them and don't remember which I liked better. They both work good though.

FOGTECH !!!!! follow the directions exactly and you will have no problems---expensive but it works--Comp 387

Re: Glasses
 

I've had a 12 volt fan since way back when,mounted where the pass. side mirror used to be.Keeps me cool,
keps my glasses and windshield clear.I've seen them mounted on the pass side floor,but I think that would act like a heater.

Re: Glasses
 

use shaving cream on the inside of the lens.

Re: Glasses
 

Fogtech is available on Ebay---WAY MORE EXPENSIVE ON EBAY ---also google Fogtech online and several sources will come up ---DO NOT BUY THE WIPES THEY DO NOT WORK AS WELL ya cannot get enough/get it wet enough on the lense!!! BUY THE DROPS---should be about $13-17 depending on where ya get it--might try a big box sporting goods store too----- put it on a pad wet a spot about the size of a nickle or so and go across and back on the lens do not swirl it around either DO NOT OVERLAP the wet path or put your fingers on it it will smudge--let it dry--should be good for several weeks---this stuff works-- COMP387

Re: Glasses
 

Try the fan.$20 for a nice one,one shot deal.

Re: Glasses
 

Ed, I don't think a fan will work very well on my roadster. I have a fan of whatever the car is travelling at naturally.
The full face helmet in high humidity races starts to fog up about the finish line which is not very good.
I try to hold my breath for the run but sometimes I cannot make it all the way.
Anti fog is what I need and have tried several different types with not that good of track record.
If Fogtech works it will be worth every penny.

Re: Glasses
 

Rick,have you looked into the helmets with the forced air pipe in it.They're probably a little pricey though.The fan would work on a door car.

Re: Glasses
 

Yes Ed I have a circulating helmet but it is not forced with a fan.
I have a buddy who has fan induced air circulation but he has to plug it in each time to a power source. It works good for him.
I sometime race by myself and plugging in a system really needs help as it needs to be to your side or to the back to keep the wiring from flying around in front of you as you go down track.
I ordered a bottle of Fogtech from Amazon.com and it should be here by my next racing trip.
I will post a report on how it works for me the end of May when we get back home if we race in high humidity conditions or at night when fog issues seem to be the worst.
Thanks to you and FED387.

Come on up here to Maple Grove and try it.Just about sundown we always get a case of the Pennsyltucky fog.Plays havoc with dial ins.

Re: Glasses
 

Here's a trick that an old racer showed me.
Peel a couple of potatoes and use the fresh peel (inside) to rub over glass (windows or eyeglasses). Then buff clean and will keep from fogging.

Ivory dish soap...apply...rub with dry soft cloth until clear.
