It will be very harsh on       your lungs too when you apply it to such a large area on the windshield       in a confined environment (inside your car).              I suggest soap and water to clean the windshield.              Defogger spray doesn't work well on windshields. It's too big for tiny       bottles of defogger.              You should turn the heat on high to blast at the windshield. Turn on the       air conditioner too because it will remove moisture from incoming air,       and don't use the re-circulate button.              After removing the foggy condition, remember to reduce the heat to the       windshield because overheating the windshield will dry up the       (anti-icing) windshield fluid too fast and create a white powdery       residue to obscure your vision.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
