Home Grown Fog Eliminators In the early days of off-road racing, we didn’t have much in the way of anti-fog chemicals and solutions, so we made do with what was at hand. And here’s what worked way back then: 1. Soap. Before a race, I used to take an ordinary bar of hand soap and soak in for a few minutes in water to soften it up. Then I would scrape some of the softened soap off and make a thin paste of it with more water. This would then be applied to the inner surface of the goggles, and allowed to dry for a few minutes. When dry, I would buff the lens with toilet paper repeatedly until the lens were clear. This worked great and would give you several hours of decent anti-fogging protection. 2. Liquid Soap. It worked as well as regular soap, but since I usually forgot to bring any liquid soap with me, I usually resorted to regular old bar soap. 3. Potato. Yep, you can take a regular potato and anti-fog your goggles with it. Simply cut a wedge of the potato and rub the white part on the lens. Let the solution air dry, then buff it clean, just like the soap trick. 4. Apple. You can use an apple (or pear) to do the same trick, but it’s not as effective. 5.Car Wax. While some riders used car wax to coat the inner lens as an anti-fogger, I felt that it took way too much work to buff the wax out enough to remove the hazed glare it left on the lens. 6. Spit. Skin divers have been doing this for years, but the effect is relatively short.
