In that case that anti fog stuff might just work, because that doesn't work when it's actually damp/wet. Think it's some kind of stuff that makes tiny droplets 'spread', maybe by breaking surface tension, not sure, but it creates a more clear view until it's evaporated.

Long time since I've ventured in here.

Wheel brushes specifically for between the spokes, What are we using nowadays as I still have my Wheel Woolies but presume something else must be all the rage many years later?

Also a general tyre/wheel face brush?

The best wheel brush I’ve ever used is a Meguiars one.

Also try maybe some moisture traps bags that you would take in holiday?

It's annoying.

Today, I drove out to play Padel. 15m drive.
Cold outside, got back in the car after 90mins and it was so foggy getting in the car. Im driving off like Ace Ventura.

Doesnt appear to be wet drips, just fog.
I might change the cabin filter and see if that helps.

What car... My 987 Cayman seems to leak at the back of the doors and dribble down onto the door cards. Very annoying !

I've got these dehumidifier bags / moisture trap and use them in my Z3 and they have been perfect. I've not had a misty window so far this winter and I am using the car most days and getting in it about 6am, so way before it would naturally clear up. I tend to use one for a few days then swap out for the other one that has been sat inside on a radiator drying.

Is the bottom of the door card dry ? Unsure what the difference is from .1 to .2

It's either that or the watershield on mine.. or both 🙄

Just given it a bath, foam, rinse, foam and wash with some ceramic hybrid shampoo which never foams up. Rinsed then put more of the same thru the foam lance, fresh mitt and went over it all again as it was HANGING after 1k of rain snow and god knows what the last 5 weeks, then rinsed again. Beads up lovely so obviously had to dry it with some of that BSD banana stuff sloshed all over.

Bosh.. or something.

GTechniq C5 wheel armour - I am very impressed!
I hate cleaning wheels, especially the Style 32’s I have. But I have these wheels a good decontamination, clean and then a C5 coating before they went on the car the a few weeks back. I am washing them now and chucked some generic wheel cleaner on, left for 5mins and jet washed all the dirt off! It’s nearly 1000miles and most on the motorway and down dirty country roads so we’re quite grim. Effortless.

I’ve used the Geyon wheel stuff on the Clio as it was rated to a higher temperature which I thought was good for track wheels. And that works well and brake dust and such doesn’t stick to it but I would say the C5 is better.
