All Steamed up

[maltrab]

This time of year many modern cars get very streamed up, and it takes ages for them to clear before you can safely drive off, I bought some of these and they do seem to work, mine were the same as these but came direct from China and cost a few pounds less for 4 of them, they do seem to attract a lot of the moisture in the car and save some time clearing the inside glass.

These larger bags do collect a lot more moisture before they need putting on the microwave for 8 minutes

I have found that some new cars are worse than others for steaming up, but without exception I find the 'max demist' or equivalent clears condensation in under a minute as it uses the aircon which removes water vapour. Not sure if you use this function in your car Terry?

Does a maxidermist stuff as many animals as they can?

You've probably got a preconditioning function on an app, this can be quite useful to give it a blast before you get in the car. It's been invaluable to me these frosty mornings so I don't need to deice my car before I leave.

Never had this issue with older cars like the one below

The only conditioner we have Barry is in the laundry room, I am looking at several replacement cars for this time next year which seem to have that feature, they will be petrol engines so I am not sure if they have to start the engine and start the defrost procedure, if that is the case I wonder how the law stands
