Public Service Announcement
While driving out of the brand new Super Wawa that's 2 miles away from the other Super Wawa that's 2 miles away from the other other Super Wawa in my area, I noticed a black guy in his Mercedes wiping the inside of his fogged up windshield. First of all, if you're driving a Mercedes, you should know how to get rid of foggy windows. But unfortunately, this sight is too common, Mercedes or not. People just don't seem to know how to defog their windows.
The key to unfogging your windows is to make sure your AC is on. On most cars, it is a button that you can push to toggle on or off. Now, a misconception is that the AC button means that it will turn the air coming out very cold, but that's not what AC does. Air Conditioning, as one should rightfully know as the full word for AC, is the act of, well, conditioning the air. It pulls the moisture out of the air that's entering the car. If you leave the AC on, even if you're venting cool or warm air, it will eventually dry out the inside of the car and unfog the window. This will happen regardless of if you're aiming the air to your feet, to the front vents or to the windshield defroster vents. If there's no moisture in the car, the windows can't fog.
So what does that mean? If it's not cold enough outside, you can blow cool air conditioned air through the windshield vents and defog those windows!
So then, what if the AC system is broken in the Benz? Well, you still have two solutions. The first is to do the common hot air defrost on the front wind shield. Hot air will evaporate the condensation. If it's too hot outside or in the car, roll down all your windows. The air from outside circulating through the car will slowly evaporate the windshield, and it will also equalize the temperature outside and inside, which will keep the windows from fogging up again.
If for some strange reason neither of those two options work. Do both at the same time. The hot air from the defrost will evaporate the windshield, and the air from the windows will keep you cool.
So now that you're well informed on the proper ways of defogging your windows and what AC really does, the next time you see someone wiping down their windows, call them retarded and drive away. Don't worry, they won't catch you. They can't even see through their foggy windows.
