New type of defog; what should I try?

I'm looking for some new defog for my mask and can't get the old brand I always trusted. Sure I can spit in the mask... or use kitchen soap... But if I'm to buy some (from scubatoys of course), what type do you recommend? What kind of success have you had with it?

More specifically, for cold water...

Cheers!

Spit is the only defog I've ever needed in cold water. Sorry I don't have anything more helpful to add.

I've had good luck with 500psi ... it is a cleaner and defog, so it cleans any residue from the lens which apparently helps.

EDIT: Oops! Accidentally added 4500 more PSI to it

I've always wondered...

When you use spit, are you supposed to rinse it or go down with the spit on the lens?

Also, this is supposed to work really well.

Edit: I havn't used it so I'm on reporting from reviews.

500 PSI is the best, longest lasting that I have found.

The whole point behind 'defog', spit, and dish soap is the lubcricant. There's no super secret agent in a $10 bottle of defog other than about $0.25 worth of detergents.

To put it simply, a dirty mask will fog and a clean one will not, so clean it however you like. Unless your mask is filthy, 9 times out of 10 spit is just as an effective detergent as that $10 bottle of defog.
