Brilio.net - When it rains, car windows often fog up and are full of water spots. This condition can certainly reduce visibility and make driving riskier. However, it should be noted that this phenomenon occurs because of the difference in temperature between the inside and outside of the car, which causes water vapor inside the car to condense on the surface of the glass.
In addition to dew, water spots left behind after rain can also obstruct visibility and are difficult to remove with wipers alone. This problem has many drivers looking for an effective solution to keep their glass clean and clear.
One solution that is increasingly popular is the use of anti-fog coating on car windows . This coating works by reducing the surface tension of the glass, so that water vapor cannot condense into droplets that cause dew. With the anti-fog coating, car windows remain clear even though there is a significant temperature difference, increasing comfort and safety when driving in rainy conditions.
In addition to preventing dew, antifog coatings also help reduce water spots that often remain after rain. This layer makes it easier for rainwater to drain from the glass surface, preventing the formation of spots that can interfere with vision. Although effective, coating the glass with antifog will certainly take time. This becomes less efficient if rain falls before the antifog layer has time to cook.
In fact, there is a faster way to solve this problem. This method was once shared by Instagram user @selima.living in one of the uploaded videos. She admitted that she actually relies on ingredients in the kitchen to prevent car windows from fogging up and being full of water spots when it rains.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @selima.living on Thursday (5/12), the kitchen ingredient in question is potatoes. Yup! She uses potatoes to create a natural antifog layer on the car windows. Although it looks unusual, these potatoes are very effective in preventing water spots on the car when it rains.

How to use it is also quite easy. You only need to prepare a potato that has been washed clean. Then cut the potato into two parts. If so, take one part of the potato and immediately rub it on the surface of the car window that is often exposed to water spots.

Immediately after rubbing with potato slices, Instagram user @selima.living immediately tested the natural antifog coating. She doused the car window with water, like when it rains.
Who would have thought, the part rubbed with potatoes was really clean and there were no water spots left on the surface. This certainly makes the driving process safer even when it rains.
" When viewed from inside the car, the glass is clear ," said Instagram @selima.living.

Since it was uploaded on Tuesday (3/12), the video about the trick to overcome fog and water spots on car windows has immediately attracted the attention of netizens and has been watched more than 1 million times. Many other Instagram users then gave direct responses through the comments column. Most even admitted that they had just found out about the trick and wanted to try it.
" Cheap and cheerful, great results ," said Instagram @3nd.house.
" Wow, I just found out, sis ," replied Instagram @tatu_ernayuliawati.
" You can also use shampoo, smear it on the edge of the glass ," said Instagram @idaaisha234.
" I want to try it ," commented the Instagram account @liedjung.
" Save it first, buy the potatoes tomorrow ," wrote the Instagram account @anggariniscode.
