What de-fogger or de-icing spray does anyone use inside the cabin?

I make sure I start the heater/defroster as soon as the engine is running. Sometimes have to open a window vent till takeoff if there are heavy breathers in the plane. I good microfiber towel is nice to have also.
Never have used any spray.

Agree with Mark on the microfiber. I always have a couple in the back. I’ve never heard of a spray that helps minimize fogging. Would be interested to hear if anyone has had experience with something that works.

This could be worth trying. If I can I try to warm the engine facing the sun on cold days. Ed Attachments:

In operating a flight school we have many mornings where fogging is an issue both in winter and summer. What seems to work well for us and I recommend you try is wiping the inside and outside of your windscreens with Rain X Anti-Fog. This is a technique used by race car drivers for not only the car but their goggles as well. It can be purchased in wipes or a small bottle. I would recommend the bottle, and wipe on application with a lint free rag or microfiber cloth. Hope this helps!

The Rain X website says it is not recommended for acrylic. But sounds like others have had luck with it. Rain X FAQ's |

Any adverse, residual affect on the plexiglass surface itself? For glass, I know it's fine, but for plastic, I wonder about the long-term impact. FYI, Rain-X will damage plexiglass and plastic windshields. It will cause them to yellow over a period of time and can make them brittle. |
