 There was some diluted dish soap on it. Wipe it on and dry it with a hair dryer. It does get overwhelmed though. Some people were using shaving cream. I think I'll try that next time. I can only reach so far with my wiping stick At the pit stop Steve Wilson wiped the entire windshield down and that lasted for quite a while.

Cool vid and nice driving. The (lack of) visibility reminds me of my rookie race - was not very fun.

Looking at a few things. Most look pretty cheap like they won't have enough fan power to be effective at speed with all the windows open. The stick on thing might be the ticket.

Divers spit on the inside of their goggles. Next time, lick the entire inside of the windshield and let me know how it goes.
Nice job, buddy! Everyone knows the rain doesn't actually fall on Robbie. Just ask him.

Wow--great driving! Was the entire 90 minutes like that? Your arms must be tired - lucky you get all that arm exercise at home...

Nice job in the wet! I actually like driving in the rain, as long as you have suitable tires. Sadly, only had one set of slicks last weekend. The 911 is also devoid of any wiper hardware, so need to see just how good RainX can be.
 One anti-fogging strategy is to wipe down the inside of the windshield with good 'ol fashioned shaving cream. I keep a can of Barbisol in the trailer just in case. Additionally, an inexpensive windshield blower is a marine bilge blower, like this one: https://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-...BoCkRsQAvD_BwE Easy 12V hookup, with a switch, and you can attach to the rollbar with zip ties. My 944Cup and our LeMons RX7 both have one hung in the upper corner of the passenger side. In addition to helping move air to avoid fogging, they're also nice when sitting on the grid on a hot day, to move some air around. Tony P.
