Great video ! Your testing method seems pretty effective. I'm curious if you followed the exact directions provided by the Rain-X Anti Fog spray. Sometimes products like this can be very specific and recommend multiple coats... but toothpaste is probably cheaper.
You're correct! I did not follow the exact directions listed by the Ran-X Anti Fog spray. This video was meant to give you the alternatives using items readily available in most homes. Let me tell ya, toothpaste is an amazing stuff!
Nice test! But that was on glass. I wonder how it would do on plastic. Specifically a motorcycle helmet visor. I know that you can't use Rain-X on plastic as it damages the plastic. If I remember correctly, Fog-X is the same. The anto fog products for motorcycles are not as effective as Fog and Rain X. I used to use both not knowing that you are not suppose to. It says it right on the bottle of Rain-X. Dhaaa! I don't see toothpaste hurting the visor soI might try it.
Not just good for your teeth! Also, be careful with the toothpaste. If it's abrasive, it could damage your glass, especially if you have tinted windows. Apply it somewhat gently if you can. There, you've been warned.
I don't see how it is abrasive. Toothpaste has nothing that makes it abrasive. Unless you get some with baking soda. But what do I know, I'll ask my dentist in a couple of weeks when I go see her. Take care!
the toothpaste is prob the best alternative but i dont want my swim goggles smelling like mint😣and ive tried to look for non flavored but have never found any unfortunately
Spit on your goggles, rub it in and then just dunk them in water, it works. Been doing this forever and it prevents foggy swimming goggles. Try it the next time you swim. It’s the best remedy for foggy goggles! Best of all your spit cost nothing!
If anyone are willing to try alternative, I suggest to use WD-40 specificalist fast drying contact cleaner( for circuit board and switches). I find that the result was quit satisfied, no thin fog film form on interior windscreen , which other anti-fog product did.😂 The WD40 evaporates quickly once you spray it and form a temporary protective “steam” layer for hours. Thus, it forced moisture to vaporise. The product is also a degrease cleaner. Hit one bird with two stone.😮 I usually spray it when I am ready to go.😊
You're probably correct, but I'd need a microscope to see them. I just did a quick search: tooth enamel hardness is about 5 on a 1-10 scale. Glass hardness ranges 4-7 on a 1-10 scale. On average people brush twice a day... I'm not planning to polish my windshield that often :)
Very stupid idea. Can prove dangerous as well. Toothpaste contain abrasive agents and it will micro scratch the glass. After a few applications the scratches will affect visibility. The commercial, made for purpose anti fog spray has the active agent but is free from the abrasive.
I've used Dawn dish soap on my ring cameras I wipe it on let it dry then wipe it off till it's clear... it works great.
My man even wiped the control side hahah, great video
After all...hes doing it on his car....might aswell clean everywhere.
bought rain-x, was worthless, good for 2-3 days max, gonna do colgate
People say that having no ac is bad in the heat cause its hot, they dont how bad it really gets when it rains and gets foggy
Having to get splashed by the rain with the windows down smh…
Ur not wrong
@carterst.lawrence2338 had an 86 trans am with ac delete system. Not fun
I mean I got ac and no heat. So you must just be mentally ill or something. Cause blasting ac and windows open. Does nothing
I'ma go on a limb here and assume you have 0 braincells. Go back to school lol
Be careful when using on tint because thats different completely might not react the same. Just a heads up to anybody with tinted windows.
Basically we scuba divers also use toothpaste as an antifog treatment for our Scuba Goggles
How did you remove the toothpaste? Wet tissue or just wipe it dry
My question exactly
Just wipe dry until gone no water

Did the car smell like toothpaste though?
@@edwardrodriguez4159 Oh, 100%
did all the windows in the deer blind with Colegate toothpaste and made no difference but the glass smells nicer
Hahaha hopefully they don’t wind ya!
A ChrisFix videos with different person doing it lol
Just for curiosity should've added a 5th one that combines all 3 solutions.
Haha.. What an idea!
Just Colgate? Will Crest work to prevent "Titanic" handprints? 🤔
liquid soap is also very very effective, put in a very small area of the towel then wipe it, thank me later

Did you determine that it's effective? The toothpaste/shaving cream
Great video Buddy!

There are some sandy toothpaste
@@BikerGirlTraveler Or just goole "does toothpaste contain abrasive cleaning particles" Answer ; YES it does. Dont use it on your windshield.
Check ingredients for "hydrated silica" - yes, it's abrasive (sandy)
What about on prescription glasses?
Window tints are applied to the inside of a window, how does this affect a car's window tinting?
Does any fluoride-based toothpaste do the same?
What if the fog is setting from outside the glass
SHAVING G E L ...not SHAVING CREAM .
Thank you for this.
Great Video! Thank You!
It will work from outside...?
No it's for indoor side windows it unfortunately wouldn't work too well on the outside. Although you can try it won't hurt
Nice. How long did you let the toothpaste sit before wiping it off?
Let it dry for few minutes.. It also do amazing results in cleaning your car, bike, paint, headlight, or other tans
Do you think this would work inside part of headlight lense?
you have a broken seal somewhere if that is happening. you need to take it apart, dry it good, put it back together after identifying the break.
And some headlight lenses are plastic, so don't even attempt using the products designed for glass because they might completely ruin the plastic.
the toothpaste is prob the best alternative but i dont want my swim goggles smelling like mint😣and ive tried to look for non flavored but have never found any unfortunately

@@keikei3301 nooooooo thats gross im not gonna hawk tuah on that thang
Wow surprising
Thank you
I wonder if it's a safe method using toothpaste on a window that has tint on it
Tinted windows are not safe for any other products to use on except the approved cleaning products.
@@mrmightytiger7385 what are the best product for tint?
@@flashbread7529 For cleaning, I'd use distilled water and nothing else. It'll do the job safely.
@@mrmightytiger7385 what are the other alternative ways to prevent frm foging wthout compromising the safety of the tint?
@@flashbread7529 Not sure what a "wag" is...
won't toothpaste scratch the glass surface?
Just like it would to your teeth... "Rub it gently" :)
Nice!
Is that just plain white colgate toothpaste?
Yes it is. What can clean your teeth can clean your glass :)
I just saved myself a hundred and fifty bucks.

Does ordinary WD-40 work?
@@Svaraijtdont even think about doing it.
Toothpaste has abrasive compound. Dont use it on your windshield. ;)
Ant has frog eyes
Thanks to Colgate,i can afford and available at home 😆
Do we apply on the inside or outside of the windshield ?
yes
Exactly !!
I think that toothpaste makes small scratches, I use toothpaste to polish coins
You're probably correct, but I'd need a microscope to see them. I just did a quick search: tooth enamel hardness is about 5 on a 1-10 scale. Glass hardness ranges 4-7 on a 1-10 scale. On average people brush twice a day... I'm not planning to polish my windshield that often :)
How much time it protect from fog the 3 products?
I have not done a usability test.
Shaving foam is better. Toothpaste is abrasive.
Damn, I was hoping I didn't have to put toothpaste in my helmet. *sigh*
Minty fresh ride 😂
Wow. Try it with a potato
Yeahhh I'm definitely getting the spray.😂
Uh turn on the defroster. Duh.
You think if people had a defroster they would look this up 😂 gotta use your brain a little
Duhhhhh tootpayyyyyyy!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow
toothpeyt... 😂
Not safe for eyeglasses.
What do u recommend for eyesglasses? i practice airsoft and i need an anti-fog :(
@@chicocrazy220691 Rain-X anti-fog.
Toothpaste not good if you have tint
Editing is 🤣
