Anti-fog window spray?

[Peter R.]

What is a good anti-fog spray for the interior aircraft windows?

Departing during Buffalo's lake effect snow last Thursday, I had my plate
full as it was when about 1,500 feet above the ground the interior of my
Bonanza's windows glazed over in a fog that quickly turned to ice.

Good gosh,, that would have been a nightmare. If it happened that fast
anti-fog spray would not do much. Good ol cabin heat and alot of it is
a wonderful thing in that scenerio.

Of course. :) It wasn't quite the nightmare that it may have seemed,
given that outside was IMC due to moderate snow and clouds.

Fortunately the band of snow extended only about 20 miles east, the
direction I was flying, and I left it above a broken layer at 11,000 feet
with sunshine above. Between the heat, the fresh air vents, and the
sunshine, the windows eventually cleared.

Be careful. Many of the things like RAIN*X specifically say NOT
to use them on plastic.

Luckily not. Buffalo really got nailed that night and early Saturday
morning.

Spit can work to reduce fog but not as effective or long lasting
as anti-fog solution (which can be substituted with shampoo). I use
spit for my swim goggles and baby shampoo for my diving mask (just
smear a few drops then rinse off with water). I'd think that any kind
of shampoo will work but the baby shampoo does not irritate your eyes.
It does not hurt to try rubbing some diluted shampoo solution on the
interior aircraft windows to see if it helps to reduce fogging.

Interesting. No mention of whether it is safe to apply to plexiglass that
I can see.
