Has anybody heard of that trick with bathroom mirrors to prevent steam from condensating on it? The trick is to spray shaving foam on a bathroom mirror and wipe it off. This, for a while, prevents the mirror from misting up when the bathroom gets steamed up.
Anybody tried this on a car?

Never heard of it. but an old biking trick is to smear raw washing up liquid poured onto a tissue and polish the inside of your visor with it, leave it for a moment then polish off any visible gunge left with a dry tissue. That should do it. Why would you want to shave and shower in the car anyway?

It's an old trick - using a surfactant to stop the water beading on the glass. It's the formation of tiny individual droplets which spoil the view, if they can be persuaded to run together to form a single thin film vision's a lot better.
Motorbike riders do it with washing up liquid, divers do it with spit. Loads of things work, and yes, it works on car windscreens as well.
I did, but I kept cutting myself every time I went over a speed hump. And I had to fix the mirror down

Now, if you were a woman, using the mirror for personal care while driving would be second nature.
