Living near the coast is awesome, but man, the humidity and salt air can really do a number on your windows. Mine were constantly fogging up, getting grimy, and even starting to corrode around the edges. I tried all sorts of cleaners and stuff, but nothing really lasted long.
Anyway, a neighbor suggested I try applying some car wax (yeah, the stuff you use on your car) after cleaning them thoroughly. Sounded weird at first, but I gave it a shot. And you know what? It actually worked. The wax created this thin protective layer that kept salt and moisture from sticking as much. Been about two months now and my windows still look pretty clear and clean—way better than before.
Curious if anyone else has stumbled onto any random tricks or hacks like this for dealing with coastal humidity?
Interesting idea with the car wax, never would've thought of that. But I'm wondering how long it'll really hold up over time—especially with constant exposure to salt air? I've seen similar tricks before, like people using Rain-X on bathroom mirrors to stop fogging. Worked great at first, but after a while it just wore off and left streaks. Curious if anyone else has tried the wax thing longer-term...does it keep working or eventually get messy?
