What do people use, and what works?
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I have 'store bought' stuff and it works well. Although I have heard of 'homemade' solutions too (although I can't think of them now ... babyoil springs to mind but I doubt that's it!!!).</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Or does good old spit do the trick for you??!</DIV>

I use the same thing, a bottle of baby shampoo costs next to nothing and lasts forever. I just bought a little squeeze bottle to keep in my dive bag and it works just great.

The absolute best money can buy is Beuchat Fog-Off. I have a 1 oz container of it that I've been working on for two years now and I have barely touched the contents. One bottle will last a person their lifetime you use so little of it.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Take the amount you can fit on the head of a pin and apply that to one side, then the same amount on the other. Do not use more or it will smear bad. No more needed.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I've tried the other ways posted above and they work, but do not compare to this stuff.</DIV>

Baby shampoo works good but I got a tub of some paste defogger that works awesome and I only apply it once for all day of diving. It goes on almost like a wax, let dry to a haze and then buff off. It is called Absolutely Clear

I use 200ft Viz no fog. Small bottle, but it will probably last several hundered dives. Ill lose it before running out....
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>As cummings said with his stuff, all that's needed it a pin head drop, rub it in, and itll dry clear.</DIV>
