Ordinarily I've always been wary of scenes like that, but I couldn't
resist buying this thing for $1. The stuff was called Nu Clear-X and was
marketed by:

Palantic Products
1258 Howard Street
San Francisco 3, California

Of course, a Google search on the product name or company turns up
nothing.

It's a piece of what looks like wax, and pink in color, square cross
section, 3/4" on the side and was originally about 2.5" long. My piece
is now down to just under 1" long. This stuff works pretty damn well. I
figure I'll run out some day soon. I have a spray bottle of what
purports to be an antifog and anti-static solution but it sure doesn't
work as an antifog. Sometimes I really need to not have my glasses fog
up. For instance, when wearing a dust mask or goggles. Surely, there are
some products (or maybe home remedies) that work for this. Can I get
some recommendations? Thanks.

Rain-X works fairly effectively for me...

Duane.. I'm guessing that you're talking about Rain-x anti fog, not the regular
glass wax type, but the OP might not know the anti fog exists..
(I didn't, until I ran out of rain-x once and they only had a 2 bottle "kit")

Back in the 60's I saw a woman in the ER whose husband had beaten her
up. He sold anti-fog spray, and she was so mad she gave us the recipe.
Soap, dissolved in rubbing alcohol. You mist it on and wipe until dry.
It works on bathroom mirrors but I can't vouch for anything else.
