    I was once told by a V8 Supercar team member that they spread a very thin coat of shampoo, like the freebee one you'll find in a hotel/motel room, on the inside of the car windows to stop fogging and that it was very effective. Now those that know me know that there is now need for shampoo at my place, so I haven't tried it myself.

    I know that you can get some liquid to put on the inside of the visor. There is one product called "clearview".
    The way to test it would be to put it on the bathroom mirror and have a shower Thats hopefully something you do Marknz

    The fog city inserts are apparently very good but I've never used them. There are different chemicals available on the market to prevent the fogging like Rain-x Antifog, etc, you might want to try some of that. I use the 'open visor 1 cm' method which works like a charm, bit cold for sure but harden up you're supposed to be a *Biker*!!

    I use 'Rain-X' on the inside of my visor on those mornings that are susceptable to fogging.

    Yeah, but if your eyesight is above the accuity of a mole,it's like looking through a window the dog's been licking.

    As Monty Burns said: "This fog's so thick,I can't see my own cataracts."

    Get a Fog city, I've got one in my tinted visor, but not in my clear visor. I can actually see through my tinted visor all the time (daylight). Must get around to buying one for my clear visor

    It has been said before to use Pledge Furniture spray.

    Haven't tried it yet myself.
    Let me know if you do.

    thats a pretty good idea. ive heard people doing that

    I bought some rainex once but it said 'dont use on plastic or I will stab your dog in the eye'
    I only posted this because of the global economic crisis

    I use a dive mask anti fog. Works fairly well though need to apply a couple of times a week in winter.
    PRO DIVE MASK DE FOG it's called. (and made in NZ )
    .....is the answer

    Fog city or their equivalents, a type of plastic film to for a double glazing on your visor, are great cheap and need no constant applying etc
